Help is on the way!!! Stress and loneliness is at epidemic levels, but new programs are rolling out.
As many at 65% of parents are in a state of overwhelming stress. We can’t be well when our kids aren’t well.
And it is obviously not just parents, the truth is the surgeon general may need to declare being a human today is hazardous to your health.
But help is on the way. Plans are unfolding quickly that will connect our digital world with truly effective care. See the proposed new reimbursement codes for doctors to administer in person and digital mental health treatments, coming online in 2025.
Regulations are coming to tame some of the most exploitative behaviors and practices that are holding us back as a society. Note the work the Surgeon General, the FDA and the FTC is doing to sort out what media can help us and what media can hurt us.
And new knowledge bases are being developed to help people understand what they can do to tackle the stress they are living under.
In the meantime, hold on to one and other. Community is everything. Reach out, accept help, be a neighbor and be a friend.
If you can’t find that in person community, find a safe space online. Play with good people, get to know them, share with them.
Parents, the new Digital Mental Health Treatments (DMHT) codes and care will help you manage the online and offline worlds that are making parenting so hard.
So much more to come and not a minute too soon. ♥ï¸
