H.R. No. 291 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Petra Deeter has made a positive impact in many | ||
lives as the founder of the Victim to Hero Institute; and | ||
WHEREAS, A survivor of child abuse and domestic violence, | ||
Dr. Deeter established the institute to empower other victims and | ||
survivors of trauma and psychological abuse; in addition, the | ||
organization advocates for legal reforms to address these issues; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The institute provides trauma-informed education, | ||
resources, and support programs; moreover, it works to raise | ||
awareness of topics such as parental alienation, which involves | ||
behaviors often found in high-conflict divorce and custody | ||
situations; these can include speaking negatively about a parent to | ||
a child or in their presence, interfering with communication and | ||
visitation, and discussing inappropriate information to damage the | ||
parent-child bond; and | ||
WHEREAS, To advance understanding of dysfunctional family | ||
dynamics, the institute conducts extensive research; it has | ||
interviewed hundreds of parents and adult children who are | ||
survivors of family dysfunction; all team members have experienced | ||
these issues themselves and bring sincere empathy to their efforts; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Petra Deeter has demonstrated an exceptional | ||
commitment to helping victims of parental alienation and unhealed | ||
childhood trauma, and it is indeed a pleasure to acknowledge her | ||
endeavors; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Petra Deeter for her contributions as | ||
founder of the Victim to Hero Institute and extend to her sincere | ||
best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Dr. Deeter as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
