Parents’ Mental Health

Mental health is not the absence of illness, nor is it a constant state of perfection — it is the ability to maintain balance under pressure. As parents, we are no exception. We nurture, reassure, and comfort, often forgetting ourselves in the process. We keep giving, even when we are exhausted, and sometimes view our own fatigue or stress as a weakness. The truth is, parents — like everyone else — experience moments of vulnerability, mood swings, and a need for care. Caring for our mental health is not a luxury. It is what enables us to parent with love, hold our children with calm, and provide safety from a heart that feels secure itself. This section was created to offer parents a safe space to reconnect with themselves and gently confront the thoughts and feelings that often go unspoken amidst overwhelming responsibilities.
