Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week #MMHWeek2024

May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month.
Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week (#MMHWeek2024) will be held from Sunday May 5th – Saturday May 11th.

The Purpose of #MMHWeek2024 is to:

  • Raise awareness of maternal mental health disorders
  • Proliferate the blue dot as the symbol of solidarity and support
  • Combat stigma and shame

The blue dot is the national symbol for maternal mental health survivorship, support, and solidarity. The blue dot symbol is owned by the community and is free for anyone to use.

This year’s theme is “Storytelling Saves Lives.” We will focus on storytelling by sharing daily stories from people who have been impacted by MMH. We encourage others to share their own stories to help others know they are not alone and there is hope and help.
