Expressing support for the designation of "National Stop SuiSilence Day".

H. Res. 551 is a House resolution that expresses support for designating a national observance called “National Stop SuiSilence Day.” It is a symbolic, non-binding measure that does not create new laws or funding. The resolution collects and cites multiple statistics and statements from federal health and veterans’ organizations to underscore suicide as a major public health issue and to emphasize the importance of talking openly about suicide as a means to prevent it. It designates September 25 (during Suicide Prevention Month) as an appropriate date for this observance and frames the day as a way to engage, educate, and activate individuals, communities, and government in suicide prevention. The resolution references prior congressional actions recognizing suicide as a national problem and prevention as a national priority and calls the designation of the day a critical step in preventing suicides. It is primarily a public acknowledgement intended to raise awareness and encourage discussion and action, rather than to mandate programs or allocate resources.
