## Summary

**Designating May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness Month** would highlight the national mental health crisis and push for wider access to care and less stigma. The resolution cites rising rates of mental illness and youth distress, treatment gaps for LGBTQ youth and communities of color, higher suicide risk in some jobs and among veterans, and increases in pediatric mental health emergency visits. It urges expanded funding, treating mental well-being as equal to physical health, and coordinated action by national, state, local, medical, and faith-based organizations to promote awareness and supports.
