Automating SSH Forwarding

I want access from my laptop to various services (web proxy and email) on my home network, even when I’m away. A convenient way to do this is to use SSH port forwarding. This is a nuisance to repeatedly initiate manually though; I would rather have my laptop run the SSH command automatically, and restart it after network outages.
