Today, in an OpEd for The New York Times, the US Surgeon General warned of the extreme stress and mental health challenges American parents are facing – including loneliness, workplace wellbeing, and the impact of social media on our kids. What needs to change? “It begins with fundamentally shifting how we value parenting, recognizing that the work of raising a child is crucial to the health and well-being of all society.” That includes affordable childcare options, paid leave, workplace flexibility, and workplace leadership that understands the demands on parents. Let’s continue to work together to build workplaces that WORK for all parents! Full article linked in comments.

104 years ago, the 19th Amendment passed - granting voting rights to some women. A push forward, but we also acknowledge that all women weren’t granted the same privilege. At The Mom Project, we’re striving to pave a way forward to ensure the equity of moms and women in the workforce and beyond. 🇺🇸 To celebrate #WomensEqualityDay, make sure you are registered to vote (or pass this along to a friend!).

Work friends: May we know them, may we be them, and may we advocate for them. According to recent LinkedIn research: Over half of U.S. workers have a friend at work, but women are slightly more likely to have one than men (56% versus 50%). Women are also more likely than men to say that they “need” a close friend at work: 42%, compared to 34%. 💙 Tag your work bestie(s) in the comments! Read more from Scary Mommy ⤵
