Mental Health Care for Parents Under Pandemic Lockdown

Parents who are working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic may be encountering new challenges.

While seeing Jimmy Fallon's kids be an active part of the virtual representation of his show, many parents are struggling to manage work and life.
