Parenting in a Pandemic: Supporting Working Parents & Their Mental Health

Join Cleo and Lyra Health for a discussion on the impact COVID-19 is having on the mental health and wellbeing of working parents and how employers can best support their people.

What You’ll Learn in this On-Demand Replay

It’s no secret that the pandemic has overly burdened working parents leading them to feel more stressed and anxious. With more limited family support options, parents are overwhelmed with juggling virtual or in-person schooling, the challenges of remote work, and keeping their families safely sheltered.

With the start of the new school year, it is more important than ever for employers to be prepared with well-being and mental health strategies to support their working parent population.

In this on-demand webinar you’ll learn:

  • New data on how how lack of childcare and a switch to remote learning is impacting families
  • Practical ways employers can support working parents to mitigate mental health challenges and build resilience
  • How Lyra and Cleo are supporting employees who are working parents
