It emphasizes the importance of interventions to support healthy family relationships and aims to enhance the overall mental health and welfare of children affected by such circumstances. The recognition of this day can potentially influence local support services and educational programs to address these issues more effectively.

Summary

The resolution highlights the need for understanding and addressing parental alienation, which is recognized as behaviors or actions that disrupt the relationship between a child and their parent.
