100 Postnatal Testimonies Project
This project is the core of our ethnographic research. It aims to gather testimonies of postnatal experiences from all members of the family constellation, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued in different contexts and countries. The Postnatal Testimonies will be the central axis of our 40 DAYS campaign to raise awareness on the importance of rest and support for newborn mothers and will be included in our efforts to demand social and political change (women’s rights, paternal leave, health insurance covering postnatal care).
If you would like to share your postnatal experience, please contact us at director@postnatalsupportnetwork.com. We will schedule an interview at a convenient time for you.
We are holding live and online interviews and have created an online questionnaire. You can also fill out the online questionnaire.
Our Research Projects
In 2020, the Postnatal Support Network initiated a five-year Research Project on the postnatal period with a powerful mission: to unearth scientific evidence and gather our own data on the subject. Our goal is to raise awareness and take the next step—demand social and political change to support young families with concrete measures. This project, fueled by the generous support of the Yogi Tea Foundation and countless hours of work by our team and volunteers, is a beacon of hope for the future of postnatal care.
