This resolution advocates for the designation of May 10, 2025, as "National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day." It highlights the significant mental health disparities faced by the diverse AANHPI community, including among the lowest rates of mental health service utilization and suicide being the leading cause of death for AANHPI youth aged 10-24 from 2018-2023. The resolution emphasizes the critical need for disaggregated data, culturally and linguistically appropriate solutions, and an increase in AANHPI mental health providers. The Senate recognizes the importance of mental health to overall well-being and stresses the need to raise awareness and improve the quality of care for these communities. It acknowledges that celebrating cultural and linguistic heritage is beneficial for mental health. Furthermore, the resolution encourages Federal, State, and local health agencies to adopt policies and guidance aimed at improving help-seeking rates for mental health services among AANHPI individuals and other communities of color.
