Bill Summary
This measure would proclaim the month of June 2025 to be Men’s Mental Health Month.
AI Summary
This resolution designates June 2025 as Men's Mental Health Month in California, addressing a critical public health issue by recognizing the unique mental health challenges faced by men. The resolution highlights that men are less likely to seek mental health support due to stigma and societal expectations, despite being at higher risk for conditions like depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, and experiencing significantly higher suicide rates. The resolution aims to raise awareness, reduce mental health stigma, and encourage policy initiatives that prioritize mental health services for men by urging state agencies, community organizations, and healthcare providers to collaborate on supportive initiatives, programs, and educational campaigns. By officially proclaiming this month, the resolution seeks to foster open discussions about mental health, promote access to mental health resources, and encourage men to seek help without fear of judgment, with the Chief Clerk of the Assembly directed to distribute copies of the resolution to the Governor and make them publicly available to further this important cause.
