Monday 5 May – Sunday 11 May 2025 is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week. This week aims to get people talking about mental health before, during and after pregnancy. This year the theme is 'Your voice, your strength'.

At Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH), we believe providing high quality mental health care for each individual person is fundamentally important. Therefore, we are excited to announce that, in August, the NHS is again launching a major survey on people’s experiences of using mental health services. If you used services in April or May 2025, you could be invited to take part and give your feedback on the quality of support you received.
