SENATE RESOLUTION

     MADAM PRESIDENT:

    I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:

    A SENATE RESOLUTION recognizing Elliot and Shanna Hazen for their five years of service as KidsPeace foster parents.

    Whereas, KidsPeace is a non-profit children's mental health organization with a history that dates back to 1882, and is today one of the most comprehensive organizations to provide mental health services to children and families in ten states and the District of Columbia;

    Whereas, One of the most widespread services of KidsPeace is therapeutic foster care. Therapeutic foster care is a specialized program for children in the foster care system who have mental health diagnoses;

    Whereas, Elliot and Shanna Hazen have reached a five year anniversary as KidsPeace foster parents. This is a an admirable and meritorious milestone, particularly considering the high rate of foster parents nationwide who decide in less than five years that they are emotionally unable to continue service; and

    Whereas, Because of Elliot and Shanna Hazen's ongoing commitment to youth in crisis, some of their community's most

vulnerable and needy children have been provided a safe and supportive home: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

    SECTION 1. The Indiana Senate recognizes Elliot and Shanna Hazen for their five years of service as KidsPeace foster parents.
    SECTION 2. The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Elliot and Shanna Hazen.
