About this sermon
An alarming new report from the Department of Health and Human Services reveals that 41% of parents report being too stressed to function most days. The report, developed under the direction of US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, addresses the mental health of the 63 million parents of children in the US and its implications for the welfare of their children. Financial strain and time demands are cited as two of the biggest factors affecting stress levels along with social media, child safety and parental loneliness as other important aspects. Director of Social Research and an Associate Professor at the Catholic University of America, Dr. Catherine Pakaluk, joins to share what her biggest takeaways are from this new HHS report. 70% of parents in the report said that parenting was more stressful today than it was 20 years ago. Pakaluk discusses whether her research supports that. She tells us how closely she thinks this report on stress is tied to the number of children we're having. Pakaluk explains what a few practical things are that parents can be doing to lower their stress in these key areas cited in the report. She fills us in on how the Catholic Church can get involved to provide resources to parents in order to lower stress levels. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
