SJR 55 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates July of each year as "Self-Care Awareness Month" in New Jersey.

SJR 55 designates every July as "Self-Care Awareness Month" in New Jersey. The resolution requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to observe the month through activities promoting self-care. It highlights self-care as daily healthy habits (like hygiene, stress reduction, and appropriate self-treatment) that improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, citing savings from over-the-counter products and supplements. The bill has no new requirements or funding but aims to raise public awareness of self-care benefits.
