The House concurrent resolution No. R-13 designates January 29, 2025, as Mental Health Advocacy Day at the State House in Vermont. This resolution emphasizes the importance of providing all Vermonters with equitable access to high-quality mental health care, which should be treated on par with physical health care as established by previous legislation. It highlights the need for mental health services to be free from stigma, discrimination, and human rights violations, while respecting individuals' autonomy and dignity.

On this designated day, individuals will gather at the State House to advocate for the significance of mental health care and to remind the General Assembly of its critical role in ensuring that mental health services are as comprehensive and respected as those for other health conditions. The resolution also instructs the Secretary of State to send copies to mental health advocacy organizations present at the event, reinforcing the commitment to mental health awareness and support within the community.
