Whereas no specific combinations of mental and substance 
use disorders are defined uniquely as co-occurring dis-
orders; 
Whereas the presence of two or more disorders can com-
plicate diagnosis and treatment; 
Whereas integrating both screening and treatment for mental 
and substance use disorders leads to a better quality of 
care and health outcomes for those living with co-occur-
ring disorders by treating the whole person; 
Whereas increased awareness leads to earlier detection; and 
Whereas early detection and integrated treatment can to-
gether improve outcomes and quality of life for people 
with co-occurring disorders: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) expresses support for the designation of 
‘‘Co-Occurring Disorders Awareness Month’’; and 
(2) recognizes the importance of— 
(A) improving awareness; 
(B) advancing research; and 
(C) 
developing 
new

and

77 percent; 
Whereas, due to President Biden and his administration, in-
flation has risen 13.9 percent across the country since he 
has taken the oath of office; 
Whereas sky rocketing costs are even worse as prices have 
outpaced seniors’ fixed incomes, causing this year’s Social 
Security benefits to have the highest automatic increase 
in 40 years, further exacerbating the strain on the Social 
Security trust fund; and 
Whereas it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
its commitment to the United States is to save and 
strengthen Social Security: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives affirms 
that current retirees and those nearing retirement expect 
certain Social Security commitments to be made, as Social 
Security has been one of the primary pillars of retirement 
support for millions of older Americans for the past eight 
decades and it is not the policy of the House of Represent-
atives to cut Social Security as part of debt ceiling nego-
tiations.
