Everyone who has a mental disability is invited. The event is a great opportunity for the community to better understand the obstacles people with mental disabilities face and the contributions they make to our community. Reservations must be made and can be done by calling 903-957-4865.
"We welcome the opportunity for other citizens to join us in celebrating the successes of persons with mental disabilities. It is through this kind of contact that we come to realize we are all more similar than we are different-individuals seeking self improvement and a satisfying person lifestyle," states Tony Maddox, MHMRST Executive Director.
Destination Dignity is a statewide effort by the Texas Council of Community Mental Health and Mental Retardation Center, Inc., a statewide association of the 41 community MHMR centers that offer public services in every county in Texas. Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed September as Destination Dignity Month.
