## Summary

**This resolution would call for increased investment in youth mental health** and would designate May 31, 2026 as Youth Mental Health Day and September 9, 2026 annually as Youth Suicide Prevention Day. - Youth and families: Would push awareness and stigma reduction and highlights troubling data, including that 40 percent of high school students reported persistent sadness and 20 percent seriously considered suicide in the past year. - Schools and community providers: Would urge expanded support for school- and community-based mental health initiatives and cites federal efforts such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Project AWARE as context for action. - State and local governments: Would encourage states and localities to adopt the commemorative days and to invest in peer, school, and community programs to increase access to care.
