Recognizing suicide as a serious public health problem, expressing support for the designation of September 8, 2026, as "988 Day" and the role of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, and for other purposes.

Sponsored By: Representative Bell, Wesley [D-MO-1]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution would recognize suicide as a serious public health problem and support designating September 8, 2026, as "988 Day" to spotlight the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It cites 2024 CDC data showing suicide was the second-leading cause of death for people 10 to 34 and caused more than 48,800 deaths that year. The measure would commend the 988 Lifeline's role connecting callers to over 200 state and local crisis centers, note its 26.2 million contacts since July 2022, and encourage public education, outreach, and efforts to expand access to crisis and mental health services.
