The Year of Mental Health Awareness

Whereas, Our society, already stressed over inter and intrapersonal issues, would benefit from an awareness of mental health; and,

Whereas, People need to recognize the difference between the lack of mental health and the process of creating mental health; and,

Whereas, Cultivating this awareness could help people avoid the consequences of untreated anxiety, untreated depression and physical deterioration; and,

Whereas, The clearer a person’s thought process is, the more opportunity he or she has to deal with and grow beyond the stressors, and thus help to prevent the occurrence of domestic violence, child abuse and family instability; and,

Whereas, Focusing and preparing for mental health awareness can help transform a perception of emotional deprivation and vulnerability into a perception of emotional prosperity and effectiveness; and now therefore be it,

Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby proclaim the year from September 11, 2003 to September 10, 2004, as The Year of Mental Health Awareness in Michigan and I urge all citizens to support the promotion of the positive, progressive nature of recognizing and promoting Mental Health.
