Hope for Early Prevention May Begins Early in Live

I once wrote a children's book regarding new mothers and a place called, "It Takes A Village."
In this place new mothers were brought together in a gym type setting where there is a room specifically for nursing mothers, a grandparent's room to read stories to little children of new mothers and fathers, a relaxation room for new mothers to receive much needed spa and massage treatments along with manicure and pedicures. For the fathers, there is a room for new fathers where there are large individual leather,reclining, massage chairs with wireless headphones and a storage area for infant needs and of course, remotes so they may watch their favorite sports shows quietly while assisting with their children by way of holding sleeping infants. In "It Takes A Village" there were at least five doctors on staff and at least ten nurses. There are state and national required parenting classes, nutrition classes, wellness classes, and exercise classes which include yoga, Pilates, swimming and weight training which is all done as a group.

As my story continued, it revealed how such an environment may improve the health outcomes of new mothers, fathers and children. This also improves the mental and physical health of families as a whole and not single new mothers out with messages that say they must be set apart from everyone in society because they had children. In my story, the government realized the importance of nurturing and care early in life and "It Takes A Village" began to spread across America and throughout the world. Mental health counsellors were available to new mother, fathers and children to explain the importance of family and changes that takes place when a new child comes into a family. Above all, it was free.

I now believe more information need to be brought to light about mental health and its affect on society. I now believe more information is needed to combat the stigma of mental illness. Though more information is required, and while this particular book is fiction, I believe every amount of information on mental illness need to be taught as early as middle school so we may be well informed on how to best deal with the issue of mental illness.
