They'll open up about the connections they've formed with their spouses and children and its positive impact on their wife's well-being and postpartum recovery. Let's dive into the cultural attitudes surrounding paternal leave in the US, the stigma that exists when men take paternity leave, and the pressure people feel when offered (or not offered) such leave by their employers.Together, we can better understand how to create a cultural change by encouraging more men to take paternity leave and asking employers to offer a parental leave policy if not provided.
