AJR 160 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates May 30 of each year as "Stigma Free Awareness Day" in NJ.

This bill designates May 30 of each year as "Stigma Free Mental Health Awareness Day" throughout New Jersey. It directly affects state agencies, organizations, and citizens by encouraging them to participate in awareness activities aimed at reducing mental health stigma. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation and calls for efforts to normalize conversations about mental health and encourage individuals to seek treatment. This is a symbolic measure that does not change laws or allocate funding, but rather promotes public awareness and destigmatization of mental health conditions.
