                         Monday, June 18, 2007

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
thank Project Transition for 25 years of service and support to people 
suffering from mental illness. By providing the necessary care and 
assistance, Project Transition has paved the way for adults with 
psychiatric problems to recover and contribute to society.
  Project Transition's unique communities offer not only medical 
treatment, but also diverse opportunities for healing of the mind, body 
and spirit. Throughout their stays, residents learn to rebuild hope and 
trust. Patients are exposed to treatment and instruction that 
cultivates the skills necessary to live a normal life as a member of 
our community.
  The Project Transition team is made up of professionals with the 
right experience and know-how in psychiatric and psychological 
treatment. They work to teach social skills, management of psychiatric 
conditions and help reintegrate patients back into the community. Their 
innovative approach has earned them both national acclaim and sincere 
gratitude from the many families they have helped.
  Madam Speaker, this year Project Transition celebrates its 25th 
anniversary as an organization serving Bucks County adults with 
psychiatric disorders. Project Transition has earned the appreciation 
of the hundreds of adults now able to live a full and healthy life. I 
join them in thanking this wonderful organization for their efforts, 
commend them on their work and wish them a future of continued success.
