Tennessee Legislators Visit TAMHO Organizations
State Representative Johnny Shaw Visits Horizons — Quinco Mental Health Center’s Peer Support Program
On Wednesday, December 4, Representative Johnny Shaw of Bolivar was an honored guest at the Horizons Center. He came in during our
‘Good Morning!’ session of motivational thinking, singing and exercise. Mr. Shaw enjoyed this activity and even applauded our group
singing. He knows about the needs of our clients and in his position on the Mental Health Committee of the State Legislature, he can be a
valued asset and supporter. We will be trying to help Mr. Shaw secure the support of other state representatives and senators as the
legislative process continues in order to maintain funding for Horizons, Quinco’s Peer Support Center.
We know the Center is meeting many of the needs of both our current clients and others that we hope to reach next year. We are
providing training and support activities in an atmosphere of acceptance and mutual support. Many of our clients would be lonely and
virtual prisoners of abode without the option of attending a vibrant and lively support Center. We provide healthy food, healthy activity,
and healthy friendships. We are learning the more we do for others, the better off we become.
