Awareness is the first step toward acceptance
In observation of March as MRDD Awareness Month The Arc del Paso along with El Paso MHMR and other related organizations and providers from around Texas celebrate MRDD awareness month in March and encourage people to learn more about the thousands of Texans who have mental and developmental disabilities.
Throughout the month of March, organizations devoted to serving individuals with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities (MRDD) will host special events to raise public awareness of the many abilities people have, regardless of disability.
What can I do? Show your local support by attending one of these events:
* March 9th Commissioner Court MRDD Resolution @ 9:30 am 3rd Floor County Court House
* March 17th City Council MRDD Proclamation @ 9:00 am 2nd Floor City Hall
* March 27th MRDD Awareness Month Picnic and Tribute @ 10:00 am Memorial Park
Then join us to show your respect for citizens with mental and
developmental disabilities
We will gather on the first Saturday of April to walk a mile for Respect.
