Honor. Advocate. Remember

A butterfly with rainbow-colored wings on a grayscale flower with text 'Every butterfly tells a story'.

The Cherished Mom Butterfly Release is a meaningful way to honor mothers lost to maternal suicide while creating space for remembrance, connection, and advocacy.

Each butterfly represents a life, a story, and a reminder that maternal suicide is preventable.

Butterfly releases are encouraged throughout the year — held privately or publicly, in places that feel meaningful to you.

Each September, releases take on additional meaning as part of the IsMOMok? Maternal Suicide Awareness and Prevention Campaign.

They help:

  • Raise visibility around maternal suicide

  • Encourage communities to ask the question “Is Mom OK?”

  • Honor mothers lost too soon

  • Create moments of collective awareness and advocacy
