By: Ramos | H.R. No. 470 |
|
||
WHEREAS, PLAN @ 1121 Rock in Richardson, a Clubhouse | ||
International-accredited nonprofit organization, has been an | ||
invaluable resource to area Texans with mental health conditions; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, People Living Active Now, or PLAN, was established | ||
by two parents of adult children with mental illness in 1991; having | ||
witnessed firsthand the scarcity of resources available to families | ||
like their own, the program's founders set out to build an | ||
organization to help address the needs of persons affected by | ||
severe mental illness and their loved ones; in August 2017, PLAN | ||
officially merged with Jewish Family Services of Greater Dallas, | ||
and the program currently serves more than 150 individuals, as well | ||
as their families; and | ||
WHEREAS, PLAN @ 1121 Rock, the first accredited Clubhouse in | ||
North Texas, is a nonprofit operated by men and women recovering | ||
from mental illness, who work side by side with caring staff to help | ||
themselves and one another to regain independence and productivity, | ||
create opportunities for socialization, and overcome stigma that | ||
may lead to separation and isolation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since its founding, PLAN @ 1121 Rock has been a force | ||
for good in the lives of many individuals, and it is indeed a | ||
privilege to recognize the organization for the important | ||
contributions it has made to the community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor PLAN @ 1121 Rock for its service to persons | ||
recovering from mental illness and extend to all those affiliated | ||
with the group sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for PLAN @ 1121 Rock as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. |
