This resolution supports the designation of May 10, 2025, as "National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day," aiming to bring critical attention to mental health challenges within these diverse communities. It highlights that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) have among the lowest rates of mental health service utilization, with a significant majority not receiving needed treatment. The resolution also notes the alarming statistic that suicide is the leading cause of death for AANHPI youth aged 10 to 24, underscoring the urgent need for intervention and support. The resolution emphasizes the importance of raising awareness, improving mental health literacy, and reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues within AANHPI communities. It calls for disaggregated data to better understand specific needs, addresses critical issues like language access and the need for more AANHPI providers, and acknowledges the impact of discrimination and racial violence on mental well-being. Finally, the House encourages Federal, State, and local agencies to implement policies that improve help-seeking rates for mental health services for AANHPI and other communities of color, recognizing the benefit of cultural and linguistic heritage to mental health.
