A resolution recognizing suicide as a serious public health problem and expressing support for the designation of September as "National Suicide Prevention Month".

Recognize suicide as a serious, preventable public health problem. The bill would support designating September as National Suicide Prevention Month, declare suicide prevention a priority, acknowledge there is no single cause or one-size-fits-all program, and back strategies to increase access to high-quality mental health, suicide prevention, and substance-use disorder treatment. It cites that suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, the second leading cause for ages 10 to 34, and that about 49,000 people die by suicide each year.
