After the Jonesboro, Arkansas school shootings, she testified before the Arkansas State Legislature regarding responses to school violence.

Since September 2005, she has been writing her own blog, Dr. Helen. Smith discusses feminism, homosexuality, liberalism, race, gun rights, and abortion from a libertarian vantage point.
