North Miami proposes resolutions on Mental Health Awareness Month and language access services
Summary
At the May 13 meeting the mayor and council officially proposed resolutions recognizing National Mental Health Awareness Month and partnering with Languagers Inc for interpretation and translation services; the clerk’s summary did not report final votes on those proposals.
During the May 13 meeting City Clerk Vanessa Joseph said the mayor and council proposed a resolution recognizing May as National Mental Health Awareness Month and a separate resolution to partner with Languagers Inc to provide professional interpretation and translation services.
Joseph said the mental-health resolution aims to raise awareness and support open conversations about mental health in the community. She summarized the language-access proposal as intended to “offer professional interpretation and translation services” so residents who speak a variety of languages have better access to city services.
The clerk’s summary identified both items as proposed resolutions; it did not state whether the council voted to adopt them during the May 13 meeting.
