      <image:title>In the Media – Matrescence in Public Discourse” - Museum of Motherhood Conference - I finally found a term in the anthropology literature – “matrescence like adolescence” — comes with a complex set of changes in multiple domains: Bio-Psycho-Social- Political-Spiritual</image:title>

      <image:caption>In 2015, an academic article was published proposing the reviving of the term Matrescence to be used as the developmental transition to motherhood as a complement to clinical or diangostic categories such as Postpartum Depression. This work was also presented in NYC that same year at the Women’s Mental Health Consortium attended by psychologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and social works, among other mental health professionals who specialized in this subject.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fast forward a few years, and Matrescence is now evolving to become a more comprehensive and inclusive model for multiple identities and across the lifespan.

      <image:caption>My work on Matrescence soon entered the zeitgeist after a decade effort at dissemination. I like to call it “farm to table” academia, in my intention to educate the public and create quicker pathways from the Ivory Tower to the hands of the public. Here is Matrescence transformed into a Ted Talk by a local NYC reproductive psychiatrist.</image:caption>
