Background
An international taskforce met in late 2015 to start
making plans for the first ever World Maternal Mental Health Day. The group
decided that the event should be held each year on the first Wednesday of May,
close to “Mother’s Day” and “Mental Health Wek” in Many Countries. This year,
the event will hold across the world on May 4th. The taskforce is made up of 15 organizations
around the world with a common goal of increasing awareness of maternal mental
health issues.
