Black Maternal Mental Health Week UK is committed to raising awareness, highlighting disparities, providing resources, and breaking cultural barriers in Maternal Mental Health for Black Mothers, and birthing people. Postnatal depression and anxiety in black mothers is significantly higher than in white mothers. Black women are the least likely to initiate treatment for postnatal mental illness, and the least likely to receive follow-up treatment.

Black women get adequate mental health and maternity care they deserve during and after childbirth. The gaps in Maternal Mental Health services and the community of black mothers and birthing people are bridged. The disproportionate rates of pregnancy-related and perinatal mental health challenges are addressed and acknowledged among Black women. To share and develop resources for increased access to mental health services. To raise awareness of the barriers faced.
