GOAL: Open, Engaged & Responsive Government
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Proclamation declaring May as Mental Health Awareness month.
BACKGROUND:
For Mental Health Awareness Month this year, Mental Health America, the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and promoting the overall mental health of all, is encouraging individuals to look around and look within. From your neighborhood to genetics, many factors come into play when it comes to mental health conditions. The area, or ZIP code that you live in plays a significant role in how healthy you are. A strong sense of community within neighborhoods protects mental health through shared support, resources and joy.
The City of Diamond Bar is proud to designate May as Mental Health Awareness Month and calls upon citizens, agencies, businesses, nonprofits and other groups to join in activities and take action to strengthen the mental health of our community.
