SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 267
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health on the occasion
of the foundation's 75th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health was
established at The University of Texas at Austin in 1940 by the
children of former Texas Governor James S. Hogg; and
WHEREAS, In the early years of the foundation's history,
its staff visited communities across the state to share emerging
ideas about mental health with professional and civic groups; as
World War II developed, staff members expanded their focus to
include the needs of military members and their families; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, the foundation's mission
expanded to include grant-giving, research, and policy activity,
with a particular emphasis on mental health services for children
and on the creation of a modern mental health infrastructure;
initiatives have included the establishment of the Sutherland
Chair in Mental Health and Social Policy at The University of
Texas School of Social Work and the launching of the School of the
Future project; and
WHEREAS, For 75 years, the Hogg Foundation for Mental
Health has played a vital role in serving the mental health needs
of our state; the foundation is truly deserving of recognition
for the profound impact it has had on the lives of Texans; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend the Hogg Foundation for Mental
Health on its valuable contributions to mental health care in
Texas and extend best wishes to its executives and staff on the
occasion of its 75th anniversary; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for this
exemplary foundation as an expression of esteem from the Texas
Senate.
