Designates May of each year as "Maternal Mental Health Month."
AJR 239 designates every May as "Maternal Mental Health Month" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to raise awareness about mental health during pregnancy and the postpartum period (up to two years after birth). It directly affects New Jersey residents, particularly pregnant individuals and new parents, by highlighting available resources like the Department of Health's maternal mood disorder hotline. The bill does not create new laws or funding but aims to reduce stigma and connect people to existing support services.
