Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week

Sunday May 4th - Saturday May 10th

The Purpose of #MMHWeek2025 is to:

  • Raise awareness of maternal mental health disorders

  • Proliferate the blue dot as the symbol of solidarity and support

  • Combat stigma and shame

The blue dot is the national symbol for maternal mental health survivorship, support, and solidarity. The blue dot symbol is owned by the community and is free for anyone to use.

This year’s theme is Storytelling Saves Lives

We will focus on storytelling by sharing daily stories from people who have been impacted by MMH. We encourage others to share their own stories to help others know they are not alone and there is hope and help.

Help Us Expand the Campaign Reach

Moms, Organizations, and Brands are invited to share daily posts from The Blue Dot Project’s social media sites or post your own favorite messages and memes from our toolkit* during the week of May 4-10. We ask that you share/post at least two messages during the week.

Official campaign memes will be available each morning during the campaign and will originate from The Blue Dot Project’s Instagram and Facebook.

Every share, like, comment, and post helps reach one more mom who may be suffering in silence. Help them know that they aren't alone.

If you post directly, please remember to tag us and use our hashtag: #MMHWeek2025
