A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for designating September 22 as National Military and Veterans Suicide Awareness Day. It highlights that members of the Armed Forces and veterans have selflessly served and sacrificed to defend the nation. The text notes that the mental health and well-being of these individuals are vital components of their readiness and fulfilling lives. It points out that challenges like post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues contribute to an alarming rate of suicide among these populations. The resolution states it is a duty to raise awareness, combat mental health stigma, and encourage seeking help. Ultimately, the House of Representatives resolves to support this specific day of national awareness during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
