National Day of Action for Maternal Mental Health
On March 10, join thousands across the U.S. to advocate for continued federal funding of life-saving maternal mental health programs.
The Why
We organize this annual day of action so that two programs that serve thousands of moms every year will continue to receive federal funding.
PROGRAM #1
The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline
Provides 24/7 voice and text resources and support to moms and families.

The Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders Program
Provides education, consultation, and resources to healthcare providers who support mothers.

Every Action Counts
Last year, over 8,000 emails were sent to federal elected officials and 124 Congressional meetings were held in support of maternal mental health programs, and both programs continued to receive federal funding for the next year.
In a time when many public health programs are under threat, this is a huge victory.
Your advocacy matters!
