The resolution designates July of each year as Self-Care Awareness Month in New Jersey, emphasizing the importance of self-care as a daily practice that includes making healthy lifestyle choices, maintaining good hygiene, and engaging in activities that promote well-being and reduce stress. It highlights the benefits of self-care for both individuals and the state, noting that when citizens practice self-care, they experience improved health and self-esteem, which in turn reduces healthcare visits and costs. The resolution cites a study indicating that every dollar spent on over-the-counter medicines saves the healthcare system over seven dollars, leading to significant annual savings.

Furthermore, the resolution encourages New Jersey residents to embrace self-care as a means to enhance personal and public health, save money, and contribute to the sustainability of the state's healthcare system. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing July as Self-Care Awareness Month and urges public officials and residents to observe the month with appropriate activities and programs. The resolution aims to raise awareness of the benefits of self-care and promote a collaborative effort among consumers, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and regulators to maximize its potential.
