GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – Many of us have been dealing with higher levels of stress for the past few years and worry about how this is affecting both us and our kids. Pine Rest’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bill Sanders, joins us today to talk about how all this stress affects our mental health, our kids’ mental health, and what we can do to better manage stress and reduce its effects on us.
