Highlights from MMHLA’s 2025 Virtual Advocacy Day and National Day of Action for Maternal Mental Health
As a reminder, we advocated for two federal maternal mental health programs.
The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: The Hotline (1-833-TLC-MAMA) provides 24/7 voice and text resources and support to moms and families.
The State Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders Program (also called Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs): This program provides education, consultation, and resources to healthcare providers who support mothers.
Our deepest thanks to all of you.
A huge thank you to everyone who rallied with us on April 2 — both on virtual Congressional meetings and via our online National Day of Action campaign.
This movement continues to be fueled by dedicated, smart, and optimistic people like you who are working to create an America that mothers deserve, and we are so fortunate to do this work alongside you all.
