Summary
National Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day would be designated for May 6, 2026 to raise public understanding of maternal mental health conditions. The resolution notes that about 1 in 5 women and 1 in 3 medically underserved women experience a maternal mental health condition each year, affecting roughly 800,000 American families and leaving 75 percent untreated. It highlights high rates among servicemembers and veterans, links these conditions to pregnancy-related deaths and infant risks, and urges more research, funding, and public support including the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline.
