CHA's President and CEO, Matthew Cook, sat down with Chief Healthcare Executive to discuss a critical challenge for children's hospitals: the #youthmentalhealthcrisis. “We talk about Covid as the pandemic, but in children's health care, we actually talk about the mental health crisis as the first pandemic, and covid as the second pandemic,” said Matt Cook. “Because again, the mental health crisis in kids started long before the pandemic. It's just the pandemic aggravated it considerably.” Read during #SPM24: https://lnkd.in/eMKpnfSV

Yesterday, the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy released a new advisory on mental health for parents and caregivers. The report states that 48% of parents say that most days their stress is completely overwhelming, compared to 26% among other adults. We know that parents/caregivers of children with medical complexities face uniquely stressful circumstances. That's why children’s hospitals and health systems provide resources and connections between families facing similar medical challenges, so they don’t feel so alone. The Surgeon General's Advisory offers actionable recommendations on how to support parents and caregivers through policy changes, community programs, and individual actions.

ICYMI: Watch CHA's President and CEO, Matthew Cook's video discussing the importance of coming together under the banner of #TeamCHA during Family Advocacy Day to advocate for children's health and the children's hospitals and health systems who provide lifesaving care. #FAD2024 ⤵
The Children’s Hospital Association’s Family Advocacy Day (FAD) is more than just an advocacy event—it's a powerful movement. As I reflect on my first FAD as CHA’s President and CEO, I am proud to have stood alongside over 300 children, their families, and children’s hospitals and health systems as they humanized the issues that impact children's health. From supporting Medicaid sustainability to advancing pediatric research, the stories shared during FAD remind us that these aren't just policy debates—they're life-changing decisions that affect real families across the country. When families share their personal health care journeys with lawmakers, it creates a profound connection that transcends numbers and statistics. Together, we must continue to fight for the policies and support that provide the best care for children. #FAD2024 #TeamCHA Watch my video to learn more about the importance of Family Advocacy Day.
