This resolution designates May 6, 2026, as "National Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day" to increase public understanding of mental health issues that affect pregnant women and new mothers, such as depression and anxiety. The measure aims to encourage healthcare providers, employers, and communities to better recognize and support maternal mental health needs. While this is a symbolic designation rather than a law creating new programs or funding, it signals congressional support for raising awareness about a health issue that affects millions of women during and after pregnancy.
