“MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH 2024”
WHEREAS, the area that someone lives in plays a significant role in their overall health and well-being; and
WHEREAS, surroundings can impact if, how, and when a person’s needs are met, which in turn affects mental health; and
WHEREAS, having safe, stable, and healthy home conditions set the foundation for achieving and maintaining good mental health; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Diamond Bar City Council does hereby proclaim May 2024 as “Mental Health Awareness Month" in Diamond Bar and we call upon the citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions, businesses, and schools in our community to recommit our community to increasing awareness and understanding of mental health, the steps our citizens can take to protect their mental health, and the need for appropriate and accessible services for all people with mental health conditions.
