The League of Women Voters of Irving supports the following measures to improve community mental health in Irving:

1. Establishment of more preventive, diagnostic, and rehabilitative mental health services within the City of Irving in addition to those available to all County residents within the City of Dallas.
2. Use of trained and supervised volunteers in certain mental health services.
3. Use of city public facilities to house programs where appropriate.
4. The involvement of a local representation of the citizens of Irving in a community mental health program which would provide for:
1. The continuous coordination and evaluation of existing resources
2. Interdisciplinary cooperation in planning and obtaining new services
3. Operative liaisons among local care-giving agencies, public and private, and other individual groups, with an interest in community health planning
4. A multi-faceted program of mental health education designed to serve all segments of the Irving population, including comprehensive coverage of local mental health developments by the media.
5. Establishment of a formal coalition of authorized spokesmen from local, private, voluntary and tax-supported groups and interested individuals to aggressively pursue these goals.
