H.R. No. 1018 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Texas Counseling Association Advocacy Day is taking | ||
place on April 11, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Professional counselors make up the largest group of | ||
mental health providers in Texas, with more than 13,000 Certified | ||
School Counselors and 34,000 Licensed Professional Counselors and | ||
LPC Associates; the work of professional counselors is often unseen | ||
and under-recognized; and | ||
WHEREAS, Professional school counselors play a critical role | ||
in campus safety as well as in students' mental health and academic | ||
success; through the delivery of comprehensive school counseling | ||
programs, school counselors help students address their social, | ||
emotional, and academic needs to ensure that they are successful | ||
both in school and in achieving their goals; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas Counseling Association Advocacy Day provides | ||
a fitting opportunity to consider strategies to help make the | ||
state's schools and communities safer and improve the quality of | ||
life for Texas residents, and all professional counselors in the | ||
state are indeed deserving of special recognition for their efforts | ||
to advance these vital goals; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate Texas Counseling Association | ||
Advocacy Day and extend to all those associated with the | ||
organization sincere best wishes for continued success in their | ||
important work; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Texas Counseling Association as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Lopez of Cameron | ||
