Supporting National Mental Health Day for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

This resolution supports designating May 10, 2025, as National AANHPI Mental Health Day to address the severe mental health crisis in this community. It highlights that AANHPI individuals have the lowest rates of service utilization, despite suicide being the leading cause of death for their youth. The resolution encourages government health agencies to improve access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care.
Key points
The designation aims to raise public awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues within minority communities.
Federal and state health agencies are urged to adopt policies that increase the rate of seeking help for mental health services, focusing on cultural competence.
