Raising awareness of maternal mental health issues, so that more women will get treatment and fewer will suffer. Since 2016 a multidisciplinary group of international maternal mental health activists, academics, clinicians and people with lived experience are coming together once a year to raise awareness of this ever topic to demand maternal mental health services for all. This year, we continue

the tradition to celebrate World Maternal Mental Health day on the first Wednesday of the month on 4 May 2022

As Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week draws to a close, I’m taking a moment to reflect on what has been one of the most powerful, emotional, and inspiring campaigns yet

Being based here in the UK gave me the privilege of not only supporting this global movement behind the scenes, but of standing shoulder to shoulder with mothers, families, advocates, partners, and professionals who are committed to creating lasting change

Seeing Marching for Mothers campaign - launched just last year - grow into what it has become fills me with immense pride

This year, more walks than ever took place across the UK, with our flagship London event feeling nothing short of magical… a powerful reminder of what can happen when people come together with purpose, compassion, and a shared vision

To every mother who shared her story.

To every family member, supporter, volunteer, partner, and professional who showed up, spoke up, walked with us, and used their voice - thank you

You didn’t just support a campaign

You helped build a movement

You helped remind mothers everywhere that they do not walk alone

But while this week may be coming to an end, our mission is not. The conversations must continue. The stigma must be challenged. The systems must change

I’m incredibly proud to continue this global partnership and remain committed to helping drive the awareness, action, and change that mothers and families everywhere so urgently deserve

Now the call to action remains:
Keep talking. Keep sharing. Keep advocating. Keep demanding better maternal mental health support for every mother, everywhere

Because one day. One week. One campaign… can spark a movement. But our voices are what create lasting change

We are

We are deeply grateful to for standing with us and lending her voice in support of and our urgent call to action, launched yesterday

Laura didn’t just speak up, she showed up. Joining Marching for Mothers walk in Aylesbury alongside Neil Harris and Cllr Mehta, she stood shoulder to shoulder with families, advocates, professionals, and campaigners united by one belief: mothers deserve better

At a time when too many women continue to suffer in silence, voices like Laura’s help take this conversation beyond awareness… and into action

Thank you, Laura, for backing our call, championing maternal mental health, and helping us push for the change mothers and families so urgently need

Because this is bigger than one day.
Bigger than one campaign.
This is a movement

Now we ask you to join us. Use your voice. Share our call to action. Demand better for every mother, everywhere

Today is World Maternal Mental Health Day

Maternal mental health affects millions of women and families worldwide - yet too many still suffer in silence

This year, we’re calling on everyone to ACT:

A – Acknowledge
See the reality. Behind every statistic is a mother, a baby, a family

C – Consider
What more can be done? In our systems, workplaces, and communities

T – Treat
Mental health with the same urgency as physical health—during pregnancy and beyond

Because:
• 1 in 5 women are affected
• Early support changes lives
• No mother should feel alone

Keep sharing. Keep talking. Keep breaking the silence

Tag us in your posts and stories so we can amplify your voice and the change you’re driving
