“Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, particularly as it pertains to the struggles young people face in our Nation today. Mental health is an issue close to my heart, and ensuring that everyone has access to the mental health care they need is one of my top priorities in Congress. In a recent national survey, 71 percent of college students reported experiencing mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression. That is why I will soon be reintroducing my bill, Enhancing Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Through Campus Planning Act, which promotes positive mental health among college students and encourages more comprehensive planning on college campuses to prevent suicide and other mental health crises. Schools and college campuses do not have the counselors or services needed to ensure that every one of our young people has a bright future, and it is our job to make sure they do. ____________________”
