Recognizing May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month.
This resolution (HR 893) symbolically recognizes May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month in Texas. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages Texans to support existing mental health services and outreach. The resolution highlights Texas-specific challenges, including high rates of untreated mental illness (over 4.7 million adults) and gaps in school mental health resources (1 psychologist per 2,300 students). It passed the Texas House on May 1, 2025, and serves as a formal statement of support for mental health initiatives without imposing any new requirements.
