House concurrent resolution recognizing May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month in Vermont

HCR 154 is a non-binding resolution recognizing May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month in Vermont. It formally acknowledges the importance of mental health through the General Assembly’s recognition, citing Vermont-specific data on rising mental health challenges (like 34% of high school students reporting poor mental health). The resolution directs the Secretary of State to share it with mental health organizations, including NAMI Vermont and the Vermont Association for Mental Health & Addiction Recovery, to support awareness efforts. It does not create new programs or funding but aligns with national Mental Health Awareness Month observances.
