First Responders Mental Health Awareness Day

This bill designates May 10, 2026, as "First Responders Mental Health Awareness Day" in Florida. It is a ceremonial resolution raising public awareness about mental health challenges faced by first responders (like police, firefighters, and EMTs) and their families due to job-related stress and trauma. The resolution does not create new policies or funding but acknowledges ongoing efforts by Florida agencies to support first responders through peer programs and mental health resources. It directly affects first responders and their families by highlighting their mental health needs through a state-recognized observance.
