Addressing the modern woman's multiplicity of roles
Dr Goldstein said, "Modernity brings with it a hustle and bustle that can be said to be peculiar to our contemporary times. The modern woman is subject to tensions that are a result of a multiplicity of roles that has developed over the years. A woman's many roles include that of spouse, mother, caregiver, employee, business owner, educator and friend. The resultant tensions that arise can make a woman feel disjointed."
Information on Mothernist is presented primarily in the form of video, a format that maximises accessibility and heightens feelings of immediate and ongoing contact and support. Dr Goldstein added, "Such accessibility is particularly relevant to fast-paced lifestyles that can feel almost transient. We aim to address that issue with our video format and content."
Mothernist also offers users with the option of web-based therapy and counselling, the most significant benefit of which would be anonymity. Dr Goldstein said, "Seeking help through therapy or counseling carries with it certain social and cultural stigmas, particularly here in Asia . Our vision for Mothernist is to develop a community of 'mothernists' who are open to discussing the issues that concern them and to sharing their experiences with others. In addition, we would like to encourage more people to consider therapy and counseling as a means of resolution. With Mothernist, we hope to raise more awareness about the importance of mental health and well-being."
