Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy emphasized the importance of recognizing that the work of parenting significantly affects not only the well-being of children but also the broader society.
The current advisory highlights that parents are under immense stress, with financial concerns and the impact of social media contributing to a challenging parenting environment.
According to a recent APA survey, 66% of parents worry about finances, illustrating the unique stresses they face compared to non-parents.
Dr. Murthy warns that parental stress can adversely impact children's well-being, linking mental health crises in youth to the worries parents carry.
