Parent Anxiety is Both A Societal and Business Problem
Parent anxiety has reached unprecedented levels over their children’s mental health, which is now a national emergency.
Parents are overwhelmed, burned out, and searching for answers. Their stress is spilling over into the workplace impacting productivity and performance.
Parent Stress is Costing Business:
40% of the US workforce are parents
Child and teen mental health is parent’s number one worry
70% of parents and caregivers report depression or anxiety
80% of employees report caregiving affects their productivity
Cost of care related absenteeism is $225.8 billion annually
U.S. working parents lose 720 million work hours weekly due to stress and caregiving
“As a COO, it has become apparent that the parenting challenges of today’s world are a hidden stress for many of our leaders and employees. Supporting and helping our people to improve their parenting, and in turn manage their parenting challenges are now an important aspect of our employee wellbeing program.”
