Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month; month of May; designate
HR 395 designates May as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month in Georgia to raise public awareness about perinatal depression and related mood disorders affecting new and expectant mothers. The resolution encourages state and local governments, businesses, and citizens to participate in educational activities during May, highlighting the need for screening, treatment, and support services. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to reduce stigma and increase knowledge about a condition impacting 10-20% of mothers, regardless of age, race, or income. The bill is a ceremonial resolution, not a policy requiring action.
