Introduced
Summary
This bill would establish a National Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day to boost public understanding of maternal mental health. It would promote the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline and highlight that about one in five women and one in three medically underserved women experience a maternal mental health condition each year, affecting roughly 800,000 American families. The resolution spotlights disproportionate impacts on servicemembers, veterans, rural mothers, and other medically underserved mothers, notes high rates of preventable pregnancy-related deaths tied to mental health, low treatment rates, and calls for more research, screening, and access to care.
