Hi, my name is Becky and I am a senior nursing student. I am looking for information about the maternity care helper program in the Netherlands. I am writing a position paper to argue that the United States should have a similar program for its new mothers. Please let me know if you have any information or references about this topic. Thanks for your help!

Have you tried the International Women's Health Coalition ((212) 979-8500) and/or Family Care International ((212) 941-5300)? Both groups are U.S. based, but as their names imply, they work internationally on these issues, I suggest that as a first stop. There is also International Planned Parenthood. They should have the information you are looking for. As you are arguing, it seems like a necessary development in this country
