Expressing support for the designation of November 18, 2021, as "National Rural Mental Health Day".
This non-binding resolution (HRES 811) expresses congressional support for designating November 18, 2021, as "National Rural Mental Health Day." It highlights statistics showing rural Americans face higher suicide rates, fewer mental health providers, and greater barriers to care compared to urban areas. The resolution commits the House to addressing mental health disparities in rural communities and maintains support for existing programs like the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network. It does not create new funding, policies, or mandates - only a symbolic gesture to raise awareness.
