This House resolution calls for mental health to receive attention comparable to physical health. It supports enforcing existing federal mental health insurance parity laws, reducing stigma, and the 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. It also calls for efforts to expand the mental health workforce, support medication-assisted treatment, use evidence-based suicide prevention, improve crisis care, and provide culturally and age-appropriate services.
The resolution expresses support for these goals but does not describe a specific service or change to an individual's benefits. It encourages mental health education and awareness, including in schools, and campaigns aimed at young people.
