Bill > HR91

This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, officially declares May as Mental Health Month within the state. It acknowledges that good mental health is crucial for overall well-being, noting that a significant portion of adults experience mental health conditions annually, but emphasizes that these conditions are treatable and recovery is achievable. The resolution highlights the long-standing national effort led by Mental Health America (MHA) since 1949 to promote mental wellness during May, and specifically mentions MHA Kentucky as the state's oldest nonprofit dedicated to mental health promotion and prevention. It also references the 2026 theme, "More Good Days, Together," which focuses on supporting individuals by meeting them where they are and understanding their unique experiences to foster more positive days. Consequently, the resolution urges citizens, government agencies, institutions, businesses, and schools to renew their commitment to raising awareness and understanding of mental health issues.
