By: Turner of Tarrant | H.R. No. 100 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Each year, the Children First Counseling Center of | ||
Grand Prairie hosts its Little Lunch of HOPE to raise funds for the | ||
agency's important work; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1977, Children First initially | ||
operated as Family Outreach, a volunteer organization that | ||
performed case management for the Texas Department of Protective | ||
and Regulatory Services; its mission evolved to encompass | ||
professional counseling and therapy services for victims of abuse, | ||
and as it separated from the state, it incorporated under its | ||
present-day name to better reflect its focus and services; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Children First is a nonprofit agency | ||
providing counseling services by a diverse staff of licensed | ||
therapists with master's degrees; it accepts clients age three and | ||
older, including adults, who reside in Grand Prairie and | ||
surrounding areas in Dallas and Tarrant Counties; most are eligible | ||
for care at little to no cost, thanks to funding from such sources | ||
as government grants, donations, and the United Way; and | ||
WHEREAS, The agency is dedicated to ending the cycle of child | ||
abuse and family violence and supports mental health in a variety of | ||
ways; in addition to the state-accredited Batterers Intervention | ||
and Prevention Program, it offers specialized adolescent services | ||
and general counseling for a range of issues, from grief, anxiety, | ||
and depression to trauma and stress; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through its endeavors, Children First has made a | ||
positive difference in the lives of countless Texans, and in so | ||
doing, it has helped to strengthen area families and communities; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the Children | ||
First Counseling Center's annual Little Lunch of HOPE and extend to | ||
all those associated with the organization sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Children First Counseling Center as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
