Mason County issues proclamations for Constitution Week and Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Summary
The Commissioners Court issued proclamations recognizing Sept. 17–23, 2025 as Constitution Week and declaring September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month; the suicide‑prevention proclamation cites state and regional mortality statistics and urges community support.
The Mason County Commissioners Court on Sept. 22 issued two proclamations included in the meeting materials.
The first proclaims Sept. 17–23, 2025 as Constitution Week, asking citizens to reaffirm the Framers' ideals; the text is signed by County Judge Sheree Hardin and the commissioners listed on the document. The second proclaims September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, citing statewide and regional statistics (including a figure of 4,376 Texans who died by suicide in 2023 and a 47% statewide increase in suicide mortality rate since 1999) and calling on citizens to recognize the importance of suicide prevention and to support organizations such as the Hill Country Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Centers.
Both proclamations appear in the packet of materials and show signature lines for the county judge and commissioners. The provided transcript contains the proclamation texts; it does not record extended discussion or motions beyond the inclusion and signatures in the meeting materials.
