Solving the Mental Health Crisis with Equal Parental Leave | SFM E64

  1. Solving the Mental Health Crisis with Equal Parental Leave | SFM E64 Adam Braus 42:35

Imagine a world where mothers and those without children earn the same, where parental leave is a basic human right and not a luxury. Is it a utopia or a feasible reality? In this episode, we tackle the contentious topic of the wage gap between mothers and other workers, arguing for the adoption of universal maternity and paternity paid leave. We discuss the potential of such policies to mitigate wage disparities, as well as their potential to positively impact mental health by reducing the career cost of parenthood and allowing both parents to bond with their newborn.

In a turn of conversation, we address America's escalating mental health crisis, exploring potential triggers, including the omnipresent roles of social media, Stress, and Technology. We establish the integral role of parental leave and discuss the changing dynamics of women in the workforce, delineating how these shifts may be contributing to the mental health crisis. We also delve deep into the concept of attachment theory, examining its influence on parenting styles and subsequent impact on the mental health of children.

Mass Shootings and Mental Illness

Wrapping up our thought-provoking discourse, we shed light on the impact of maternal sensitivity on mental health, contemplating the potential consequences of certain Sleep training methods. We advocate for universal childcare as a means to foster a securely attached population and discuss the detrimental effects of poverty on maternal sensitivity and the negative outcomes of disorganized attachment. In conclusion, we ruminate on the significance of maternity and paternity leave in shaping the well-being of families and children. We take a critical look at both the Republican and Democratic party policies and their pertinence to mental health. Join us for an episode filled with illuminating insights and tangible solutions to prevalent issues.
