Senate Resolution No. 2106

BY: Senator BRISPORT

 RECOGNIZING Second Chance Month in the State of
 New York, and recognizing the profound mental health
 impacts of incarceration on individuals, families,
 and communities

 WHEREAS, The State of New York is committed to promoting the health
and well-being of all its residents; and

 WHEREAS, Mental health is an essential component of overall health,
affecting individuals' ability to lead fulfilling lives, maintain
relationships, and contribute to their communities; and

 WHEREAS, Second Chance Month has been observed each April since 2017
to bring awareness to the multitude of barriers formerly incarcerated
individuals face during the process of reentry, especially those related
to mental health; and

 WHEREAS, Incarceration has been shown to have severe and lasting
psychological effects, including increased rates of depression, anxiety,
post-traumatic stress, and other mental health challenges; and

 WHEREAS, Isolation, exposure to violence, family separation,
uncertainty, and restricted access to adequate healthcare can exacerbate
existing mental health conditions and contribute to new ones; and

 WHEREAS, Solitary confinement and prolonged isolation in particular
have been widely documented to cause significant psychological harm; and

 WHEREAS, The mental health impacts of incarceration extend beyond
those directly incarcerated, affecting families, children, and
communities, and contributing to cycles of trauma and instability; and

 WHEREAS, Formerly incarcerated individuals often face significant
barriers to accessing mental health care upon reentry, including stigma,
lack of insurance coverage, and limited continuity of care; and

 WHEREAS, Addressing the mental health consequences of incarceration
is essential to advancing public health, reducing recidivism, and
promoting successful reintegration; and

 WHEREAS, New York State has an ongoing responsibility to ensure
humane conditions of confinement, expand access to mental health
services, and invest in alternatives to incarceration that prioritize
treatment and support; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
recognize the significant mental health trauma associated with
incarceration and calls for increased awareness and research to address
these harms, so that New York State can truly embody the spirit of
Second Chance Month; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Silent Cry, Inc.
