House Resolution No. 326.
A resolution to declare September 2016 as Recovery Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Behavioral health is an essential part of health and one’s overall wellness; and
Whereas, Prevention of mental and/or substance use disorders works, treatment is effective, and people recover in our area and around the nation; and
Whereas, Preventing and overcoming mental and/or substance use disorders is essential to achieving healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally; and
Whereas, We must encourage relatives and friends of people with mental and/or substance use disorders to implement preventive measures, recognize the signs of a problem, and guide those in need to appropriate treatment and recovery support services; and
Whereas, Thousands of people in Michigan are affected by these conditions; and
Whereas, To help more people achieve and sustain long-term recovery, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Michigan House of Representatives invite all residents to participate in Recovery Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 2016 as Recovery Month in the state of Michigan. We call upon the people of Michigan to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies to support this year’s momentous occasion.
