May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month, a vital time to recognize the mental health challenges that can impact mothers, birthing people, and families during pregnancy and after birth. From May 5-11, 2025, we’ll be honoring Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, with World Maternal Mental Health Day on Wednesday, May 7th. It’s important to remember that grief is part of many maternal mental health journeys. Many mothers and birthing people face mental health challenges like postpartum depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief—whether from pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infertility, birth trauma, or even grieving the loss of identity and dreams. These experiences matter, can deeply affect mental well-being, and deserve to be acknowledged. Grief and maternal mental health are deeply connected, and no one should have to face these challenges alone. Together, we can break the silence, raise awareness, and ensure all parents feel seen, heard, and supported. Join the conversation and share why #MaternalMHMatters to you. Let's shine a light on maternal mental health and grief together. The Purpose of #MMHWeek2025 is to: - Raise awareness of maternal mental health disorders - Proliferate the blue dot as the symbol of solidarity and support - Combat stigma and shame For resources and more information, visit: www.maternalmentalhealthalliance.org www.thebluedotproject.org/mmhweek2025  Suicide Prevention Virtual Training
