Show full summary
- AANHPI families would get a national prompt to prioritize mental health and link cultural and linguistic heritage to well‑being.
- It spotlights high unmet need: about 65.3% of an estimated 2.9 million AANHPI individuals with a mental health condition do not receive treatment.
- It highlights youth risks by noting suicide was the leading cause of death for AANHPI people ages 10 to 24 from 2018 to 2023.
- It urges federal, state, and local health agencies to adopt laws, policies, and guidance to improve help‑seeking and to expand the mental health workforce, including paraprofessionals, training, and ongoing support.
