Dr. Vivek Murthy emphasized that parenting, though essential for children's health, is often undervalued, which can lead to worsening mental health for both parents and children.
Murthy called for a cultural shift to recognize the essential role of parents and caregivers in society, stressing that the stresses experienced by parents have a direct impact on children's well-being.
In the advisory, it was noted that the well-being of parents and caregivers is crucial not just for individual families but for the health of society as a whole.
Murthy's advisory points to a pressing public health concern, highlighting the interconnectedness of parental mental health with children's outcomes and advocating for systemic support changes.
