Why we felt called to action.

The well-being of parents is now recognized as a critical public health issue.  We know schools and other community supports are often stretched equally thin.  We want to help provide bridging supports.

  • In August 2024, the U.S. Surgeon General's issued an Advisory on the Mental Health and Well-Being of Parents.  As outlined by the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, it highlighted "the urgent need to better support parents, caregivers, and families to help our communities thrive".

​​

  • The Advisory reported concerning statistics:

    • 41% of parents report most days they are so stressed they cannot function

    • 33% of parents report high levels of stress in the past month compared to 20% of other adults

​​

  • The Advisory identified these key stressors for parents and caregivers:

    • The increasing time demands of both employment and childcare duties. 

    • The health and safety of their children.  â€‹

    • Mental health impacts of technology and social media.

    • Parental isolation and loneliness.

    • Cultural pressures of time-intense parenting and their children's future.​​

How We Help.

Parenting, caregiving, and educating can be equally hard as it is rewarding.  We know there are times when you are not exactly sure who to ask or what to ask to navigate the next challenge in front of you.  We help families, schools, and communities like yours connect with realistic strategies and solutions for everyday pediatric problems. Our experts have longstanding professional experience in the pediatric community.  Our expertise can be shared on-demand / virtually or in-person.  We help you clarify challenges and concerns.  We connect families, schools, and communities to sustainable strategies and solutions.  We work with parents, caregivers, educators, employers, and other community partners to bridge gaps and help ensure all kids get where they need to be.
