Designates May of each year as "Emotional and Behavioral Disorder Awareness Month."

SJR 56 designates May each year as "Emotional and Behavioral Disorder Awareness Month" in New Jersey. The bill directs the governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities about emotional and behavioral disorders - medical conditions affecting thinking, mood, and daily functioning. It aims to reduce stigma and improve access to treatment for individuals, particularly children, who face higher risks of school suspensions, substance use, or juvenile justice involvement due to these conditions. This is a symbolic, non-binding resolution with no new funding or regulations.
