A little more than 3 years after the Surgeon General warned of the children's mental health crisis facing American youth and kids, he released a warning on the staggering mental health needs for parents. These two warnings, although years apart, are so connected. As much of our own research suggests, caregiver wellbeing is directly tied to child wellbeing and mental health. Families operate as a system and it is incredibly important for the health care industry, employers, schools, and community organizations to recognize the interconnectedness of need and support. In the most recent warning, focused on parental mental health, Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy outlines the stress on parents and calls us to action to support parents including: ✔️Expanding policies and programs that support the well-being of parents and caregivers in the workplace ✔️Providing access to comprehensive and affordable high-quality mental health care ✔️Prioritizing preventive care Read the full document here: https://bit.ly/4cP5Rk5 #parents #pediatricmentalhealth

Mental health advocacy goes beyond the walls of one organization and at Mightier, our team is so honored to work with and learn from so many change makers who have paved the way. As we always say, mental health is a multiplayer game. 💪
I've recently gotten to know some of the people at Mightier and am so impressed with the work they are doing to help children who are struggling with behavioral and mental health challenges, and their families. As many of you know, I worked for nearly 7 years for Twill (formerly Happify Health) in the digital mental health space. Our products were primarily for adults but I regularly heard from our clients about the need for products and services to support children. So the work that Mightier is doing is particularly close to my heart and fills such an important gap. Mightier recently releases a new proprietary study in which they outlined the intersection between work and parenting and confirms the essential role Mightier plays in supporting families and confirming that when kids struggle, parents struggle. I hope you'll take a look: https://lnkd.in/gkXjR6Ba

We are thrilled to share Contemporary Pediatrics article "Digital Therapeutics and What They Can Do For Mental Health" highlighting a recent interview with Jason Kahn and his take on the necessity of digital therapeutics (dtx) as a referral solution for pediatricians. “We're asking pediatricians to do more and more, and I don't think we've done a great job helping pediatricians understand how the digital mental health landscape is evolving and changing, and what options are available to them. Trying to get the word out and have pediatricians understand what these tools are is one of the biggest challenges, especially in the context of asking pediatricians to be all sorts of people and wear all sorts of hats for the patients coming into their offices.” Learn more about our take on: -what digital therapeutics really are -how Mightier supports kids and families as a dtx -how pediatricians can truly leverage dtx to help support mental health https://bit.ly/3SNFT9D #pediatrics #pediatricians #mentalhealth

The pediatric mental health crisis is not just about children. 💙 Families operate as systems, with child well being directly impacting caregiver well being and vice versa. That means that when children struggle, so do their parents in real, measurable, and consequential ways. We are thrilled to share our latest ebook, which provides a much-needed perspective on the interaction between child mental health and caregiver work-life revealing the role Mightier plays in improving caregivers’ work experience.

A loud co-worker. 📣 Birds chirping. 🐦 The echo of my own voice. 💬 At Mightier we take emotional education and play-based learning seriously (and sometimes not so seriously 😆). Plus, we're pretty sure no one said mindfulness can't be fun! Thanks for the laughs Craig Lund, Emily Devlin, LICSW, Michael Dellapi! #EmployeeWellbeing #Mindfulness #KidsMentalHealth
