Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 4-10, 2026, as Postpartum Depression Awareness Week in the State of New York
This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate May 4 through May 10, 2026, as Postpartum Depression Awareness Week. The resolution aims to highlight postpartum depression, a mental health condition affecting many new mothers, and encourages the public to learn more about it during that time. By passing this measure, the state legislature intends to reduce stigma and promote support for families dealing with the condition. The bill does not change laws or allocate funding; it serves only as a symbolic gesture to raise public awareness.
