The House Concurrent Resolution designates January 29, 2025, as Mental Health Advocacy Day at the State House in Vermont. It emphasizes the right of all Vermonters to receive high-quality health care, including mental health services, without discrimination. The resolution highlights the importance of treating mental health care on par with physical health care, as established by Vermont law, and stresses that mental health services should be free from stigma, prejudice, and violations of human rights.

The resolution also calls for mental health treatment practices to respect individual autonomy and dignity, ensuring that support services integrate a human rights perspective. On this designated day, individuals will gather at the State House to advocate for the importance of equitable mental health care, reminding the General Assembly of its critical role in providing such services. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to mental health advocacy organizations present at the event.
