House Resolution No. 75.
A resolution commemorating May 2009 as Children’s Mental Health Month in Michigan.
Whereas, Healthy Michigan families and children are two of our state’s most valuable resources; and
Whereas, Mental health is a key component in a child’s healthy development; and
Whereas, Emotional and mental disorders in children are real and treatable; and
Whereas, There are effective treatments, services, and supports that can help children and youth with mental health problems and those at risk to thrive and live successfully; and
Whereas, Children and youth with mental health challenges are best assisted by communities pulling together to form a system of care using the principles of family-driven, youth-guided, and culturally-appropriate supports; and
Whereas, Stigma associated with mental illness should no longer exist; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate May 2009 as Children’s Mental Health Month in Michigan. We express our support for the proactive leadership of the Michigan Department of Community Health, the Association for Children’s Mental Health, Michigan health care providers, quality improvement partners, and consumer advocates in the delivery of effective mental health services in Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Association for Children’s Mental Health as a token of our highest esteem.
