Caregivers: when’s the last time you didn’t feel stressed out? In August, the U.S. Surgeon General released an advisory, titled “Parents Under Pressure,” that identified parental mental health as an urgent public health issue. Nearly half of parent participants in the surveys confirm that “their stress is completely overwhelming.” 

The wellbeing of these adults is worrisome on its own, and research also shows a strong correlation between poor mental health in parents and poor physical and mental health in children. In other words: this public health issue impacts multiple generations and, by extension, our entire country. In this episode, I take a closer look at the advisory and what workplaces should be doing to mitigate this national crisis.

Discover what the research says and what your workplace should be doing about it:

  • Seven unavoidable causes of parental stress;
  • The overt connection between parental mental health and talent retention;
  • Specific steps organizations can take to help improve the wellbeing of employees who are also parents or caregivers.

Parental support in the workplace is about more than public health—it’s about talent retention.
