It’s a headline that caught our attention – and likely yours. The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, claims parenting can be hazardous to your health. Hazardous to your health due to the extreme stress the modern-day parent is experiencing. He believes the economic state of our nation, the influence of social media, the mental health crisis among youth, and personal parenting expectations are all contributing factors to growing stress and anxiety among parents.

Simply put, Dr. Murthy believes parents and caregivers are facing more than they can handle with little support. In his advisory, he wrote, “Chasing these unreasonable expectations has left many families feeling exhausted, burned out, and perpetually behind.” But he says there are solutions, and he put out a call to action. He believes if people, parents, and communities act now, we can work together to lift each other’s burdens.
