Honoring Rosalynn Smith Carter's legacy in mental health advocacy.
HRES 1251 is a non-binding House resolution honoring Rosalynn Carter's decades-long advocacy for mental health policy and reducing stigma. It commemorates her role as a national leader, including chairing the President's Commission on Mental Health (leading to the 1980 Mental Health Systems Act), founding The Carter Center's mental health program, and co-founding the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism. The resolution expresses the House's gratitude for her work advancing mental health parity, access to care, and support for vulnerable populations. It does not create new policy but formally recognizes her legacy and The Carter Center's ongoing efforts in mental health advocacy.
