This resolution advocates for the designation of May 10, 2026 , as "National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day." It highlights the significant mental health challenges faced by the AANHPI community, including low utilization of services and suicide being the leading cause of death for AANHPI youth aged 15-24 from 2018 to 2024. The resolution emphasizes the need for disaggregated data and culturally and linguistically appropriate solutions to address these disparities, acknowledging issues like language access and the impact of historical discrimination. The resolution recognizes the profound importance of mental health for the well-being of families and communities, asserting that celebrating one's cultural and linguistic heritage is beneficial to mental health. It calls for increased awareness and an improvement in the quality of care available to Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. Furthermore, it encourages Federal, State, and local health agencies to adopt policies and guidance aimed at improving help-seeking rates for mental health services among AANHPI and other communities of color.
