A resolution supporting the designation of May 10, 2025, as "National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day".
SRES 208 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating May 10, 2025, as "National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day." It supports raising awareness about mental health disparities affecting AANHPI communities, where 65.3% of those needing treatment don’t receive it, and AANHPI youth face high suicide rates. The resolution encourages federal, state, and local health agencies to improve mental health literacy and culturally appropriate care access for AANHPI populations. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to highlight existing challenges and promote community-focused solutions.
