Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026, as Co-Occurring Disorders Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize April 2026 as Co-Occurring Disorders Awareness Month. The resolution defines co-occurring disorders as the presence of both a mental illness and a substance use disorder in the same individual. By designating this month, the bill aims to increase public awareness and encourage integrated treatment approaches for these conditions. The measure does not change laws or allocate funding but serves to highlight the importance of addressing both disorders simultaneously for better health outcomes.
