Postpartum is Forever challenges the existing status quo in our society today. Postpartum is not just about motherhood and it is not time-limited. It is a personal and unique journey for each human being. Postpartum is Forever describes the author’s own experiences. It is based on the premise that all families deserve social support for a lifetime. Postpartum is Forever embraces fathers, non-birth parents, and grandparents. For most parents it includes grandparenthood. The narrative includes perinatal and gerontology research and the history of the scientific and social support movements. It is evidence-based and focuses on the value of family resources.
Biology is the foundation of medicine. Psychology is the basis of psychotherapy. Sociology is at the heart of community. Postpartum is Forever explains the emergence of the parental mental health movement that captures the best of all three disciplines. Healthy families need the cooperation between health care professionals and social support services to succeed.
