A resolution to declare May 4-10, 2026, as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week in the state of Michigan.

This bill designates the week of May 4-10, 2026, as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week in Michigan. It aims to highlight the importance of recognizing postpartum depression and other maternal mental health issues among women of all backgrounds. The resolution encourages the public and healthcare providers to share information about warning signs and available resources during this designated period. By setting aside this specific time frame, the bill seeks to reduce stigma and promote awareness rather than implementing new laws or funding changes.
