  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise and pay tribute to a 
remarkable non-profit organization located in my district. Southeast 
Mental Health Services was recently awarded the Silver Achievement 
Award from the American Psychiatric Association for being among the top 
mental health programs in the nation. I am proud to call the attention 
of my colleagues and this nation to all that Southeast Mental Health 
Services has done for those suffering from mental illness.
   Southeast Mental Health Services has developed a revolutionary 
approach to treating the mentally ill. Their program focuses on helping 
each individual patient to live the happiest and most fulfilling life 
possible. Southeast Mental Health Services has found great success with 
this program. The dedication and selflessness of the program's 
administrators and staff set a fine example to all mental health care 
professionals.
   Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to call the attention of this body of 
Congress and our nation to the many contributions of Southeast Mental 
Health Services. The organization's programs have made a significant 
contribution to the quality of life of numerous Coloradans suffering 
from mental illness. It is with great pride that I rise before you to 
recognize Southeast Mental Health Services and the notable 
contributions they have made to the community.
