Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution designates September 20, 2026, as "Pharmacy Workforce Suicide Awareness Day" to focus national attention on mental health challenges facing pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The bill highlights significant workplace pressures affecting this profession, citing data showing that 70 percent of pharmacy workers experience moderate to high burnout, 33 percent face serious distress including depression and anxiety, and pharmacists report elevated suicide risk compared to the general population. The resolution calls for increased research into the causes of suicide among pharmacy workers and barriers to mental health treatment, while recognizing structural obstacles that prevent workers from seeking help. The House supports using this designated day to honor those who have died by suicide in the profession and encourages the President to issue a proclamation promoting awareness and educational activities. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding or enforcement mechanisms, intended to raise awareness and reduce stigma around mental health issues in the pharmacy profession.
