Modern-day parenting is so stressful that it has led to the current cortisol crisis. Oath Care is built to directly solve this problem but we know that we cannot do it alone. We need innovative public and private support on this issue because what’s in place is too slow and ineffective. Oath is leading a movement to intentionally aggregate brands and change leaders to participate through investment, discount offerings, and co-creative engagements. The movement pillars are 1) community, 2) financial, and 3) education. We know what we need and we’ve built it. Join us in solving the parenthood cortisol crisis.
We are living in a parenthood cortisol crisis. As a society, I think we know by now that negative stress is pervasive, yet the short and long-term impacts of stress and the solutions can feel so elusive. I teamed up with Shelley Kemmerer PA-C, MCHS to bring awareness to the linkages between stress and cortisol (an important hormone in our body) and how high and sustained levels of cortisol severely affect parent and child health. On average, 66% of parents are burned out. We have ignored the stress parents and children are experiencing for long enough. It is going to take a movement to deploy interventions and make the significant changes that are so necessary to address the parenthood cortisol crisis. #stress #parenting #cortisol #burnout #mentalhealth #copingskills
