Recognize Youth Mental Health Action Day
SJR 13 is a symbolic resolution recognizing February 26, 2026, as "Youth Mental Health Action Day" in Colorado. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally honors pediatric health-care providers working to support youth mental health. The resolution cites Colorado's high rates of youth mental health challenges (including suicide being a leading cause of death for children under 18) and emphasizes collaboration with providers, agencies, and communities. It commits the General Assembly to "promoting child and youth well-being" through existing mental health system efforts. This is a non-binding recognition, not a policy change.
