“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize May as Mental Health Awareness Month. The focus of this campaign is to break down the stigma surrounding mental health.

It is important to remember that you are not alone. Mr. Speaker, by bringing attention to mental health, we can elevate the conversations surrounding mental health. We are focusing on prioritizing mental health and acknowledging it is okay to not be okay. This month, reach out to your loved ones and check in. By starting the conversation, we are one step closer to ending the stigma surrounding mental health. ____________________”
