In our most recent study, The Ripple Effect, our team discovered four key takeaways. We will be sharing these with you over the next few weeks.

The reality is children’s mental health and well-being continue to impact parents’ work and influence their job decisions, underscoring the realities employers across the nation face as they balance employee well-being and corporate success.

Disruptions due to children's mental health can reportedly lead to the inability to handle job stress, focus on work goals, take pleasure in work, and more. Yet only a small percentage of working parents—those who perhaps feel a sense of safety in their job—feel comfortable expressing concerns about their child’s mental health at work.

Our study combined in-depth online discussion with 49 working parents and a national survey with another 1,975 parents in the workforce.

As you can see in Key Takeaway #1, parents and caregivers see their child's mental health on a continuum. Not only do they need workplace support when their child is in crisis, but they need support and resources across the continuum.
