Statement from Secretary Becerra and Deputy Secretary Palm on World Mental Health Awareness Day 2023
Today, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra issued the following statement on World Mental Health Awareness Day 2023:
Here at home and around the world, our goal should be that every individual, regardless of their walk of life, has access to mental health support. When we speak of providing healthcare, it should encompass the care of the mind just as much as the body. The mental wellness of every person is not just a lofty ideal, but a basic human right. As nations bound by shared dreams and challenges, this World Mental Health Awareness Day, we have a powerful opportunity to assure every individual that their well-being is our priority.”U.S.
Mental health challenges impact all Americans. Recent data show that 23% of adults 18 or older had any mental illness in the prior year. And that among high school students surveyed, 29% experienced poor mental health in the prior 30 days.
