COVID-19: Why Maternal Mental Health Matters
#NOWMORETHANEVER
Since 2016, the first Wednesday of May has been proclaimed World Maternal Mental Health Day by advocacy organizations around the globe. Instead of awareness walks to mark the day like we had done in previous years, due to COVID-19 and physical distancing, we moved our efforts online.
In April 2020, we put out a call for videos from advocates telling us why maternal mental health mattered #NowMoreThanEver during the pandemic. Our campaign resonated and reached millions through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We received over 100 videos from moms, dads, mayors, city councillors, MPPs, MPs, and celebrities (Workin’ Moms actors Juno Rinaldi and Sarah McVie, Author/Comedian Jessica Holmes, Author/Parenting Expert Ann Douglas) from all across Canada. We posted the videos daily during the month of April leading up to May 6th when we released a special compilation (see video above). We also asked for pictures holding up signs: Read our article in which we profile a pregnant mom and speak with leading maternal mental health experts:
