Bill > HRes670

This resolution expresses support for designating September 22 as "National Military and Veterans Suicide Awareness Day" to highlight the mental health challenges facing military personnel and veterans. The resolution acknowledges the selfless service of armed forces members and recognizes the significant mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety, that contribute to high suicide rates among military and veteran populations. By supporting this designated day, the House of Representatives aims to raise awareness about these critical mental health struggles, combat the stigma surrounding seeking help, and emphasize the importance of providing adequate mental health resources and support for those who have served the nation. The resolution comes during September, which is already recognized as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and seeks to draw specific attention to the unique challenges faced by military personnel and veterans in managing their mental health and wellbeing.
