Summary

Claire Conklin told the subcommittee the city issued a Mental Health Awareness Month proclamation on May 20; commissioners discussed whether another October proclamation for mental health or recovery would be appropriate.

Claire Conklin, city council coordinator in communications and engagement, told the subcommittee the city had already issued a mental health awareness proclamation this year: "we actually did do a mental health awareness month proclamation on May 20 this year," she said.

Commissioners nonetheless discussed related October observances (national recovery month in September and other mental-health-related recognition opportunities) and the possibility that local NAMI leadership could help sponsor a proclamation in another month if the subcommittee chooses that option.
