Loneliness in early parenthood: What can we learn from research?

Being a new parent can make you feel really alone. But don't worry, I talked to Dr. Kelly Elliott and Dr. Tracy Vozar, and we had a chat that might make you feel better.
Parenting is like sailing through a storm of emotions and expectations. It can leave you feeling lost. Today, we talk about the different ways people raise kids and how it can affect our feelings. We also look at how feeling anxious and trying to be the perfect parent can make us feel really lonely. We talk about how social media can help connect parents and make them feel less alone.
We don't just talk about the problems, though. We also give you practical tips and resources to help you through the tough times of being a new parent. The Baby Steps lab at DU has a lot of useful stuff, and we share some simple self-care ideas to help you take care of yourself. Let's celebrate the small moments that make being a parent a bit easier, and work towards a future where parents' mental health is a big deal in our community.
