The National Working Families Report has found that two-thirds of working parents are struggling to take care of their mental and physical health.
According to the report, one-quarter of working parents are considering leaving their job in the next year due to stress caused by the conflict between work and caring responsibilities.
CEO of the social enterprise Parents at work, Emma Walsh says "we asked parents what their biggest challenge was an overwhelmingly it came back as looking after their own physical and mental wellbeing from when children are born to about the age of 16.”
