Black Maternal Mental Health Week UK is an annual national awareness campaign created, owned and led by The Motherhood Group. The week raises awareness of the mental health challenges and inequalities experienced by Black mothers, promoting education, advocacy and culturally appropriate support throughout pregnancy and after birth.

Each year, The Motherhood Group leads and coordinates the campaign nationally, placing Black mothers’ voices and lived experiences at its heart. Through connection, community and collective action, the week champions better maternal mental healthcare.

We warmly welcome organisations, healthcare professionals, community groups and individuals to get behind The Motherhood Group’s campaign, amplify its messages and organise supportive activities that contribute to its aims. Together, we can help ensure Black mothers receive the understanding, care and support they deserve.
