Mission & Goals
Work Life Balance
Mission & Goals
Our mission is to address poor work life balance in the workforce and to increase working parents' work life balance for greater health and happiness.
Work Family Balance has three primary goals:
1) Help working parents find an adequate balance between work and family where they can feel satisfied and content. The goal is satisfaction, not perfection.
2) Help working parents address and overcome the most common negative emotions they experience: fear, stress, guilt, frustration, anger, anxiety, and loneliness.
3) Help shape the workforce of tomorrow, the next generation of workers and leaders, by nurturing children's comprehensive development, including the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive abilities of children, so they can be better prepared to tackle the complex challenges of today and tomorrow.

Parent Comprehensive Health
Our work life balance community resources and activities help parents find an adequate balance between work and family.
Since balancing work and family is inherently imperfect, absolute balance is never the end goal. Our goal is to help parents find a satisfactory balance. A balance that enables parents to feel content and satisfied, with most of their physical, mental, and professional needs being met or in the process of being addressed.
Our work life balance resources are intended to ease parent stress and provide pathways to address common work/family challenges and build parent confidence.
