Product Overview
"Community Support for New Families provides a goldmine of ideas for anyone moved to undertake an organized effort to strengthen families. There is no other book like it, and while Jane Honikman’s focus for the last 40 years has been on helping parents, I feel that the detailed suggestions she provides can be used as a blue print for all kinds of causes."
—Marian Tompson, Author, Passionate Journey: My Unexpected Life, co-founder, La Leche League International
"Community Support for New Families is a how-to for channeling compassion for families into real and lasting support. Ms. Honikman, the founder of Postpartum Support International, has mapped a thorough and methodic guide that asks the questions needed to successfully establish and sustain a local support group or network. Along with her advice based in 40 years of experience and her own successful parent-support organization, I know our API Leaders would greatly appreciate the time saved and benefit from the lessons learned by using this resource. The generous sharing of this wisdom provides a tremendous opportunity to scale-up the availability of support to families."
—Samantha Gray, Executive Director, Attachment Parenting International
