Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
H.Res. 759 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for designating September 2025 as "National Children's Emotional Wellness Month" to raise public awareness about children's mental and emotional health. The resolution does not create any new programs or funding but instead acknowledges growing concerns about children's mental health crises, including rising rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide among young people. It highlights alarming statistics—such as one in five children experiencing emotional or behavioral disorders and only 20 percent receiving needed care—while also recognizing the COVID-19 pandemic's severe impact on children's well-being and the risks posed by excessive social media use. The resolution thanks pediatricians, mental health providers, and nonprofits for their work and calls for reducing barriers to mental health services, including workforce shortages and stigma. Since this is a House resolution rather than legislation, it carries no legal force and involves no budget appropriations or implementation timelines.
