A MESSAGE FROM DR. RICK In
starting a new year we tend to evaluate our previous year’s performance and
to set goals for the future. Establishing personal goals is essential in
motivating and maintaining general direction. The whole course of human
history can be influenced and changed by a single individual setting and
achieving goals. It is in a solitary mind and soul of an individual that the
battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. No matter
how large or small the group, success is based on the efforts of individual
members. As a Foundation we have been blessed with progress during 2006.
Foundation board members, volunteers and financial donors have made a
difference in the Foundation and as a result in the lives of others. In the
upcoming year we have a renewed passion for our direction. I am convinced
that the Lord cares very much about our efforts collectively and
individually. How wonderful it is to know that with His help, none of us
need wait a single moment to continue improving the world. The Mental Health
Resource Foundation is a vehicle by which each of us can make a difference.
We appreciate your interest and support. |
FOUNDATION NEWS On December 9, the Foundation was featured in an article published by the Deseret News. Written by John Hart, "Help Builds Hope" covers the mission of the Foundation and has quotes from interviews with Ardeth Kapp, Rulon Craven, and Joe Christensen. It was a positive article that informed people of the services and resources that the Foundation offers. FOUNDATION PROJECTS The Foundation is working on a project with LDS Family Services in
Mexico. We are printing a total of 2,000 Guidebooks for use by local
clergy and other interested caregivers. The Guidebooks Helping
Individuals Stop Using Pornography and Helping Individuals Cope With
Mental Illness have been translated and adapted for Mexico City.
Donations from LDS Family Services and Esther Foundation have made this
project possible. |
