H.R. No. 1018

R E S O L U T I O N
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
