Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a proclamation recognizing the month of May as "Mental Health Awareness Month".

Public Background

Mental health issues is a common problem, that impacts many families. It does not discriminate with all races, ages, educational levels and economic status impacted. Mental Health Awareness Month began in 1949 to help educate the public about mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.  The agenda item is to also recognize tools and resources for mental wellness that are available in the county and that with early identification and treatment there is hope for a full and rewarding life.  The theme for this year's event is "More Good Days Together".  Events during the month aim to reduce stigma around mental health issues and bring awareness to resources and support services available for more good days.
