Declaring a need for increased investments in youth mental health, recognizing May 31, 2026, as "Youth Mental Health Day", recognizing September 9, 2026, annually as "Youth Suicide Prevention Day", and for other purposes.
HRES 792 is a symbolic resolution designating May 31, 2026, as "Youth Mental Health Day" and September 9 annually as "Youth Suicide Prevention Day." It calls for increased investments in youth mental health services and encourages state and local governments to adopt these observances while promoting community-based mental health initiatives. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to raise awareness about the youth mental health crisis, which disproportionately affects marginalized groups like LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and low-income young people. It references CDC and NIH data showing rising rates of depression, suicidal ideation, and suicide among U.S. youth, particularly ages 10-34.
