As we observe National Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s crucial to acknowledge the countless Americans grappling with mental health issues. My Administration is dedicated to ensuring their needs take precedence.
Mental health disorders can touch anyone, irrespective of their background or life circumstances. No one should navigate these challenges in solitude. Identifying the signs, encouraging open communication, and extending compassion are vital steps in addressing mental health issues and supporting those in need.
My Administration is actively tackling the mental health hurdles our Nation faces as part of a broader initiative to enhance the overall health and well-being of all Americans. The Make America Healthy Again Commission is focused on the underlying causes of our country’s growing health crisis, pledging to provide transparent information and accessible data. We are dedicated to conducting high-quality research, improving access to healthy food, and expanding treatment options to safeguard the health of every American.
We also reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every veteran receives the mental health care and suicide prevention resources they deserve. No individual who has bravely served our country should face barriers to the support they require during their most challenging times.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your mental health, reaching out for help and seeking professional support is essential. Together, we can forge a stronger and healthier future for everyone.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority granted to me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby declare May 2025 as National Mental Health Awareness Month. I urge all Americans to support those suffering from mental health conditions, promote awareness through suitable programs and activities, and dedicate our Nation to pioneering prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this declaration on the fifth day of May in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred forty-ninth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
