Join MumsAid This Maternal Mental Awareness Health Week: Be Part of the Change

Maternal Mental Health Week is a powerful moment in the calendar—a time to raise awareness, share stories, and come together to support parents navigating the emotional realities of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. This year, MumsAid is bringing together a series of meaningful events, conversations, and community initiatives designed not just to inform, but to involve you actively.

Whether you’re a parent, a professional, a friend, or simply someone who cares, there are so many ways to take part.

A Week of Learning: Our Webinar Series

We’re kicking things off with our Maternal Mental Health Week Webinar Series: Supporting Parents at Work. These sessions are designed to open up honest conversations around the challenges parents face in the workplace—and how we can better support them.

From practical strategies to lived experiences, this series is ideal for employers, HR professionals, and parents alike.

Support Our Work: Donate This Week

Maternal Mental Health Week is also an opportunity to make a direct, lasting impact.

By donating to MumsAid, you’re helping us provide essential counselling, peer support, and specialist services to mums and families who need it most. Every contribution—big or small—helps ensure that no one has to face maternal mental health challenges alone.

If you’re not able to attend an event, this is a powerful way to still be part of the week and support our mission.

Why It Matters

Maternal mental health affects families, communities, and future generations. Yet too many people still feel isolated, unheard, or unsupported.

This week is about changing that.

It’s about listening instead of fixing.
It’s about community instead of isolation.
It’s about action instead of awareness alone.

Be Part of It

Whether you attend an event, join a webinar, take part in a workout, march with us, or simply share our message—you are making a difference.

Maternal Mental Health Week is not just something to observe.
It’s something to be part of.

Let’s come together and support mums—because no one should have to navigate this journey alone.
