Newsom launches statewide plan for young men’s mental health

And Governor Newsom signed an executive order focused on suicide prevention and mental health, specifically in young men and boys. The order directs a statewide response to improve mental health for this part of the population and reduce the stigma that’s attached to it. The order strengthens mental health support through the California Health and Human Services Agency, addresses California’s crisis of loneliness and young men, and offers pathways to work, education, and support. The executive order recognizes that we need a whole person approach, not just treating mental illness, but also investing in belonging, opportunity, and prevention. Governor Newsom said too many young men and boys are suffering and also disconnected. This action is about turning all of that around.
