US Surgeon General's Advisory on Parent Stress
The U.S. Surgeon General's advisory on parent stress highlights the significant emotional and mental challenges that parents face, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It emphasizes the need for systemic support, including access to mental health resources, flexible work arrangements, and community assistance to alleviate stressors affecting parents and caregivers. The advisory calls for collective action from employers, policymakers, and communities to create environments that promote the well-being of families and reduce the burden of parental stress.
