Proclamation
mental health is part of overall health and well -being and should be treated with the same urgency as physical health; and
the area that someone lives in plays a significant role in their overall health and well-being; and
surroundings can impact if, how, and when a person’s needs are met, which in turn affects mental health; and
having safe, stable, and healthy home conditions set the foundation for achieving and maintaining good mental health; and
with early and effective interventions, those individuals with mental health conditions can recover and lead full productive lives; and
the City of Manhattan Beach is committed to promoting public education and community activities that can reduce stigma and positive mental wellness, support prevention efforts, and help improve the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that I, Richard Montgomery, Mayor of the City of Manhattan Beach, California, on behalf of the City Council and the residents of Manhattan Beach, do hereby proclaim the month of May, 2023 as
Mental Health Awareness Month
to increase public understanding of the importance of mental health, and that every citizen and community can make a difference in helping end the silence and stigma that for too long has surrounded mental illness and discouraged people from getting help.
Dated this 2
nd
day of May, 2023.
