Recognize May 2026 as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month in Nebraska

This legislative resolution designates May 2026 as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month in Nebraska to highlight the importance of mental health support for women before, during, and after pregnancy. The bill directly affects mothers, families, and healthcare providers by formally recognizing the need to address perinatal mood, anxiety, and depression disorders that affect many new parents. It expresses legislative support for individuals diagnosed with these conditions and aims to raise awareness about the stigma and lack of information surrounding maternal mental health. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the issue and its treatment options.
