Bill Summary
26-013 CONCERNING THE RECOGNITION OF YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ACTION DAY.
AI Summary
This resolution, a formal expression of opinion or intent by the Colorado General Assembly (the state's legislative body), recognizes February 26, 2026, as Youth Mental Health Action Day. It acknowledges a significant crisis in youth mental health within Colorado, citing statistics that show a high prevalence of sadness, hopelessness, and mental disorders among young people, as well as disproportionately high suicide rates. The resolution emphasizes the importance of early identification and treatment of mental health needs, the need for better integration of primary and mental health care, and the crucial role of pediatric health-care providers. In response, the General Assembly commits to investing in cost-effective measures to support youth well-being, strengthen the children's mental health system, and collaborate with various partners, including healthcare professionals, state agencies, and families, to address these critical needs.
