Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 4-10, 2026, as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare the week of May 4-10, 2026, as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week in New York. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about various forms of mental health challenges that new mothers may face, such as "baby blues," postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. By aligning the proclamation with World Maternal Mental Health Day, the bill seeks to encourage local and state-level efforts to support new parents. Once adopted, a copy of the resolution will be sent to the governor to formalize the designation.
