Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a proclamation to declare May, 2023, as Mental Health Awareness Month.
Background:
The National Association of Counties (NACO) is inviting counties to participate in declaring May, 2023, as Mental Health Awareness Month. America’s counties are on the front line for mental health promotion and service delivery. Counties serve as the nation’s safety net for residents in need, first responders, and operator of crisis lines, public hospitals and detention centers. Counties are integral to any local, state or national level efforts to strengthen the mental health system because of the various touchpoints counties have among residents seeking care.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Proclamation signed and filed in the Clerk of the Board office.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Cochise County will not recognize May, 2023, as Mental Health Awareness Month.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Email copy of proclamation to Dr. Alicia Thompson, CHSS Director. Scan and file original proclamation.
