Subject: | Dr. George W. Fairweather Day |
On Wednesday, June 18, 2015, I will be introducing a resolution designating September 25, 2015, as Dr. George W. Fairweather Day in Pennsylvania. Dr. Fairweather developed the Fairweather Lodge Program, an innovative social experiment fostering more participatory roles in society for former psychiatric patients, through having the patients live and work together on a more collaborative basis. The program now exists in at least 17 states and encompasses more than 100 lodges. Sixteen counties in Pennsylvania have organizations patterned after the Fairweather Lodge program. Please join me in cosponsoring this resolution to honor the life and contributions of Dr. Fairweather. |
