We’re living in a world that’s not what we’re used to. As parents, our mental load — the daily stress of working and taking care of the kids, the worry about our parents’ health, the questions about when life will ever get back to normal — gets heavier by the day. While this feels unavoidable at times (and that’s normal), we want to make sure that you’re still doing what you can to check in on you, no matter what phase of the parenting journey you’re in. Whether you are expecting your first baby, have a newborn at home, or are running around with a toddler, the articles in Mental Health Check: How Are You, Really? can support you and your mental health.
