Surgeon General's Warning: Parenting may be hazardous to your health
At Cara Pollard Coaching, we've long recognized the mental health crisis affecting our children and have been sounding the alarm for years. The distress our kids are experiencing is deeply connected to the fact that their parents are not okay. The Surgeon General recently stated:" Parents who feel pushed to the brink deserve more than platitudes. They need tangible support. That’s why I am issuing a Surgeon General’s advisory to call attention to the stress and mental health concerns facing parents and caregivers, and to lay out what we can do to address them." He also emphasized, "The experience has taught me that parenting at its best is a TEAM SPORT. Reorienting our priorities in order to give parents and caregivers the support they need would do a lot to ensure the balance skews toward joy." At Cara Pollard Coaching, we specialize in bringing that joy back into people’s lives. Just as any great team needs an experienced coach, we guide parents and caregivers through the challenges they face, helping them find balance and fulfillment. The Surgeon General’s call for an advisory highlights the need for employers to implement training programs for managers on stress management and work-life balance. It also encourages healthcare professionals and social service groups to screen parents for mental health conditions.
Beth Kurzweil, Faiza Liban Diamond and Cara Pollard discuss his recent findings and how we can address the stressors at home and at work more mindfully.
