Memorials, Recognition - Moccasin Bend Mental Health Institute's Bleyzer Program -
House Joint Resolution 551 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Bleyzer Program at Moccasin Bend Mental Health Institute (MBMHI) in Chattanooga. The resolution recognizes the program’s innovative approach to helping long-term psychiatric inpatients develop community reintegration skills through a "community living" model, including independent living tasks and meal planning. It highlights the program’s success with 36 graduates and minimal readmissions (only three patients returned for short-term adjustments), earning it the first annual IIPR Award from The Rutgers Institute for Inpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation.
