Assembly Resolution No. 2345

BY: M. of A. Rules (Solages)

MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
June 10-16, 2024, as Infant Mental Health Awareness
Week in the State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body, in keeping with
its time-honored traditions, to recognize and observe the importance of
the mental health of residents across New York State; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, this Legislative Body is justly
proud to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 10-16, 2024,
as Infant Mental Health Awareness Week in the State of New York; and

WHEREAS, Infant mental health reflects the crucial first five years
of a child's life in which they grow mentally, through observations of
their emotional capacity, as well as in their primary relationships; and

WHEREAS, Infant mental health is dependent on the love and care that
a child receives because the overall quality of the primary
relationships in an infant's life dictate their choices and potential
future experiences and opportunities; and

WHEREAS, Loving and nurturing relationships offer a child a sense of
emotional security; this emotional security allows a child the courage
to explore the world and succeed far more; and

WHEREAS, During the initial five years of a child's life the
foundation for proper social and emotional development are conceived and
a child's understanding of self-worth and self-confidence are
constructed; these necessary emotional developmental traits are crucial
to success in school and life; and

WHEREAS, Without the proper care and affection during these initial
five years, a child can become depressed, restless, and
attention-starved, leading them to seek out solace from dangerous
situations; and

WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body to recognize
those vital days which remind us of the importance of establishing a
foundation of mental health for all adults; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 10-16, 2024, as
Infant Mental Health Awareness Week in the State of New York; and be it
further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
