H.R. No. 1715
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Child Protection Day is taking place at the State
Capitol on April 1, 2015, and this observance provides a fitting
opportunity to recognize The Children's Shelter of San Antonio and
the service that it has provided to young Texans in need; and
WHEREAS, Since 1901, The Children's Shelter has offered a
safe harbor for children throughout San Antonio and Bexar County
who have suffered abuse, neglect, and abandonment; this
not-for-profit agency operates a 66-bed emergency shelter where
children can receive around-the-clock medical and psychological
care, and its 36-bed residential treatment center houses youth who
have experienced more serious emotional trauma; all resources are
available at no cost, and its research-based intervention programs
are adapted to the best interests of young victims; and
WHEREAS, The staff of The Children's Shelter also coordinates
foster and adoptive family services, which include placing children
in temporary foster homes and assisting couples and individuals who
want to adopt; in addition, the agency works to support parents in
building healthier relationships with their children and offers
counseling for parents who have a son or daughter with special
needs; and
WHEREAS, Looking to the future, The Children's Shelter is set
to open a new outpatient facility, the Harvey E. Najim Children's
Hope Center, where clients can access mental health services; the
vision of the center is to emphasize a holistic approach to
treatment and to address the root causes of abuse, with the goal of
ultimately breaking the cycle of violence for more families; and
WHEREAS, For well over a century, the men and women of The
Children's Shelter have demonstrated a profound commitment to
protecting and caring for young victims of maltreatment and helping
them move on to safe and loving homes, and these efforts have made a
positive difference in the lives of untold numbers of children and
their families; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby honor The Children's Shelter and commend all
those associated with the agency for their dedicated efforts to
transform lives, restore innocence, and strengthen families; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for The Children's Shelter as an expression of high regard
by the Texas House of Representatives.
