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. A study cited in the resolution indicates that for every dollar spent on over-the-counter medicines, the healthcare system saves more than seven dollars, leading to significant annual savings.

The resolution calls upon the Governor to issue a proclamation each year recognizing July as Self-Care Awareness Month and encourages public officials and residents to observe the month with appropriate activities and programs. It underscores the collective responsibility of consumers, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and regulators to promote self-care, which can enhance personal and public health, save money, and contribute to the sustainability of New Jersey's healthcare system.
