Postpartum Home Vistis

As I am reading Yalom's book, The Gift of Therapy, he has posed the very question I have contemplated for some time regarding mental health and home visits. Though home visits were once a common occurrence, now they are almost seen as taboo. However, with these mother's and father's out there grappling with the changes a baby brings along with its birth, wouldn't it be nice to literally meet client's where they are at? So often in our profession we spout off the phrase "meet your client's where they are at"...which means, as long as it's in the office. Wouldn't it be nice to see just how "perfectly" or "imperfectly" their homes are arranged (an opportunity to address the need for perfectly good but not perfect), to see where they could use a "you know, you are doing a great job", to sit on the lawn with them and process, nuture and connect,? I'm wondering in the field of postpartum mood disorders, in particular, just how important a home visit* could be? What doors could it open? Doula's enter the home, midwives enter the home, why aren't we joining up with these professionals and adding to the holistic care of these parents? What information could be shared without saying a word? With these ponderings I'd love your perspectives and feedback!

(I also put out there that establishing good professional an therapeutic boundaries prior to a home visit is necessary as well.)
