mental health crisis in our country. it's a message from the u.s. surgeon general and what he says needs to change. >> it is going to take all of us to rally around our caregivers, from employers to schools to church. >> [ music ] this is cbs news bay area with elizabeth cook. >> it is no secret that raising kids is hard and it is exhausting, right? well, it has gotten to the point where the u.s. surgeon general is calling it a crisis. he says nearly half of parents report being completely overwhelmed on a daily basis, and in some cases, they are so stressed, they can't even function. so, what can we do about it? today, we will talk to a psychologist about managing that stress. we will have that conversation in just a few minutes, but first, look at your news headlines. a wildfire burning near clearlake has destroyed more than 30 buildings, dozens of cars, and forced more than 2000 people to evacuate. the

so-called boyles fire started yesterday afternoon and burned about 80 acres so far. the fire is about 40% contained, and forward progress has been stopped. the cause of the fire is under investigation. another wildfire, this one south of reno, has also forced thousands to evacuate. in the midst of all the chaos, a herd of wild horses raced to escape the fire as smoke filled the sky there. the fire affected at least 14 structures and brent more than seven square miles. so far, there is no containment. san jose police just provided updates on last night's deadly police shooting. they said the suspect was firing at the ceiling inside a crowded restaurant on center road just before going outside and shooting someone in the parking lot, seemingly at random. witnesses called 911, thinking it was an active shooter situation. when officers got there, they say the man refused to surrender

and was carrying a stolen gun. and antioch, two men are behind bars, accused of burglarizing a spirit halloween store. police say they found them wearing halloween masks and pushing shopping carts full of costumes. that happened last thursday on summersville road. police say the suspects were also carrying ammunition. and the former safeway store in san francisco will soon make way for a new grocery store. today, the board of supervisors candidate and mayoral candidate aaron peskin held a news conference to announce that grocery outlet is moving into the north point shopping center near fisherman's wharf. it is unclear exactly when it will open. it is a party at levi stadium ahead of the niners home opener this evening. the parking lot, just a sea of red and gold with fans tailgating before the niners take on aaron rodgers and the jets. they will also be playing in front of a nearly sold-out crowd, but without christian mccaffrey, who is still out with a calf injury. onto our first alert weather now, taking a live look outside from our camera, weigh on top of mount diablo, that is so gorgeous. we are actually in

for a brief, but pretty big cooldown coming our way. meteorologist zoe is here now with how big of a drop we are going to get. >> about 10 degrees cooler tomorrow, but i do have to say red and gold, we've got it going on for the 49ers today, did not plan it, but i love it. also loving the cooler temperatures that are on the way, thank goodness, as the marine layer and the fog are going to continue to hold strong in our coastal communities, and that may even push a little further inland tomorrow as more clouds and cooler temperatures are on the way. but it is just so much fun to watch that marine layer, that fog continuing to just sit tight, sit steady along the western parts of the peninsula. san francisco is continuing to see that wave of fog moving through, and on top of sutro tower, we are beginning to see a little bit more of that fog making its way over the city, and the fob will be even thicker and thicker into our overnight hours, and bring us even cooler temperatures as a storm system is on the way that

will usher in even more moisture, and again, these temperatures are going to be a lot alert 24 hours from now. right now, they're not that hot, not nearly as hot as what we were feeling last week but still in the mid 80s in concorde. mid to lower 60s here in san francisco. it really depends on where you are, but in san francisco as usual, you're going to need to grab the jacket, it's what we expect for this time of year. the clouds are going to continue to build over much of the area overnight tonight and into tomorrow. like i said, we are expecting even more cloud coverage tomorrow afternoon as well. as we get the cloud coverage, the fog will continue to fill in our valley communities, over our bay areas. and that fog and the cloud coverage is likely going to stick around. this is a loop of the clouds and the fog over the next 24 hours. we are expecting a lot of them to stick around for a majority of the bay area, into tomorrow as well, as that storm system will be arriving, picking up our winds and cooling us down. overnight tonight, or low temperatures will be in the mid-50s for our coastal

communities, but also mid-to-upper 50s for our inland areas, where, yes, a light jacket will be necessary stepping out tonight as we are going to be seeing more of that cool air seeping at the areas near the values. and down into our inland areas, even feeling those areas in green beginning to build. however, you notice tomorrow afternoon, the colors that we are seeing, it is not nearly as deep of a red across the bay areas. in fact, a lot of us are in the yellows and oranges and greens across the coastal communities, that is signifying the cooler air that is going to arrive tomorrow afternoon. tomorrow afternoon's high temperatures going to be significantly cooler than today's. we are going to be sitting in the low to mid 60s along our coastal communities. and inland areas, mid-to-upper 70s. that is going to feel like such a nice change of pace. even antioch barely even reaching 80 degrees. compared to the triple digits they were feeling just about four or five days ago, this is such a nice change of pace .

this big cooldown is arriving for everybody as soon as 24 hours from right now. that is great news for anybody that has any outdoor plans tuesday or into wednesday, as again, the heat is not going to be a huge issue. tomorrow afternoon, we are going to see temperatures even inland mid-to-upper 70s. by wednesday, the heat will begin to build once again. mid-80s as the cloud coverage will department or sunshine will arrive and the winds will pick up wednesday into thursday as well, something to keep your eyes on. it is going to be a pretty windy mid-to-late part of the week as that is when the bulk of the storm system will arrive. but either way, tuesday is going to be the coolest day and the next seven. wednesday and thursday more seasonable with more winds arriving. overall, a lovely next couple of days the weather ahead of us for any outdoor plans that you have. other than wednesday and thursday, those are going to be pretty windy days, liz, as that's when the storm system will officially be arriving. any outdoor plans on wednesday and thursday, might have to

hold onto the hats, but at least the temperature is not going to be anything to complain about. >> i think a lot of folks will be grateful for a little bit of a cooldown, starting to feel like fall. >> love the sweater weather on the way. but thank you, zoe. there are 57 days until election day, and vice president harris and former president trump are getting ready for tomorrow's highly anticipated presidential debate. a new cbs news poll shows the candidates are in a statistical tie in three battleground states. one of those states as pennsylvania, that's where the debate is going to be held. the economy and inflation remain the top issues for voters, and when it comes to the candidates, their split. >> when voters say that inflation is a major factor in their vote, when they say that their incomes haven't been keeping up with inflation, donald trump is leading among those voters. that is something, i think, going into the debate, we are going to see harris try to make up ground on. at the same time, when we ask people whose policies would help the middle class going forward, you see harris with an

advantage. >> now, one part of the economy that both campaigns seem to agree on is getting more money to parents. vice presidential candidate jd vance told face the nation host margaret brennan last month, he supports expanding the child tax credit, something that is also part of vice president harris's economic plan. they just don't agree on how much. >> welcome i think one of the things you could do is make it bigger per child. i think we would love to see it at a higher dollar value. i mean, look, i would love to see a child tax credit that is $5000 per child, but you of course have to work with congress to see how possible and viable that is. >> we will provide $6000 in tax relief to families during the first year of a child's life. >> during the pandemic, the biden administration did expand the child tax credit from $2000-$3600. the credit was paid monthly to qualifying families. now, the child tax credits are meant to help ease the financial burden on parents at a time when the u.s. surgeon

general says parents are more stressed than ever. he recently issued an advisory on parents' mental health, and according to that advisory, nearly half of parents reported that on most days, their stress is completely overwhelming. the surgeon general's advisory supports increased access to paid family leave, improving childcare and education, and investing more in mental health care. he says making these changes are important to america's future. >> the mental health of parents affect the mental health of kids, and if we want to raise kids who are healthy and strong, and to create a foundation for our future, then we should care about parenting. and that is going to drive changes in three areas, in policies, community programs, and individual action. policies, we need more paid leave for parents, so they can take more time off to be with a sick kid, for example. we need

parents to be able to get access to affordable childcare. >> now, the advisory found the cost of childcare is a major source of stress for parents. it says childcare costs have spiked 26% in just the last decade. our kelsey talked to a ucsf expert who says when it comes to parenting stress, if it isn't one thing, it's another. >> the u.s. surgeon general is sounding the alarm on stress. saying it is becoming a more serious problem for everyone, especially those with children. >> parents report more stress compared to other adults. in fact, 41% of parents say that most days, they are so stressed, they cannot function. >> reporter: that statistic is so concerning, the surgeon general published an advisory on the topic, calling attention to the issue, and calling on society to help address the problem. alexandra sullivan, an expert on parenting stress at ucsf, says she was ecstatic to see the nation's head of public health highlighting this topic. >> i'm really excited to see

that parenting stress is being raised in the public consciousness as something that we need to prioritize financially and with our policies. >> alexandra says a variety of factors have contributed to this increase in stress, from financial instability to time demands, to isolation and loneliness. >> it makes it a lot harder to focus, it makes it a lot harder to take care of kids. >> we caught up with one parent at a park. he told us he definitely feels those stressors daily. exit is the fact that you are almost always feeling that you can do better, that you could have responded to that situation in a better way, that you could have been more sensitive. >> alexandra says feelings like that aren't uncommon. that's why she says it is so important that we as a collective society start talking about these issues and working to fix them. >> had to keep this topic

prevalent is going to be to keep talking about it, keep addressing it, keep disseminating it in the news, and keep allocating funding dollars towards both research, as well as healthcare opportunities. >> so, what specific steps can we take to ease the burden of all that stress? coming up, a local psychologist joins us live to talk about what is driving parents to the brink and what can be done to stop the crisis. stay with us, we will be right back. >> [ music ]

parents need help. the stress of raising kids is causing a crisis. the surgeon general says it's driven by rising costs, longer work hours, and increased pressure from social media. joining me now is nina kaiser, a child and parent psychologist from practice sf. thanks so much for being with us. >> oh, my goodness, my pleasure. >> are you seeing parents stressed more than ever before in your own practice? >> yes, absolutely. we have a team of about 18 providers at practice. we work with kids, teens, and parents, and we've seen a huge escalation over the last couple years not only in parents seeking support for their kids and teens, but also in parents seeking support for

themselves and parents reporting really high stress levels associated with parenting, right, worry and stress about their kids, about are we getting this right? are we doing what we can to support them? i think complicated further by the economy, just challenges logistically relating and dating back to the pandemic when so many parents realized hey, school's closed and we have no safety net here. so it's been i think escalating and building over the last couple years. >> do you think parents also are putting more pressure on themselves because of what they see on social media? >> yes. 100%. i think when you and i were kids, my parents, there were no parenting influencers out there telling us what the right way was to parent and there wasn't as much visibility into other parents' lives and sort of the, you know, silver lining of other people's lives. so there was far less to compare ourselves to on a daily basis

and far less attention to sort of the right way to do things in a way that made parenting easier than today or less kind of stress ridden, right, in terms of thinking about all the ways that you might be getting it wrong. >> so what do you tell your patients who are coming to you and saying, nina, i don't know what to do. i can't sleep. i'm stressed out all the time. i feel like i'm a bad mom, a bad dad because i just can't handle the pressure. what do you tell them to do to help cope with this? >> yeah. i think the first step is really kind of noticing. i mean everything we consume has an impact on us, right? so really getting down to nuts and bolts around what is the information you're taking in? maybe this would be a good time to take some of those parenting influencers off your feed and to pay a little bit less attention because if you're here, if you're feeling stressed about being a good parent, news flash, you are a good parent, right? because you care about what's happening.

you're trying to do the right thing and that effort in and of itself is the most important step in the first direction. but then it's a matter of really reaching out for support which families come in. they presumably already are, but noticing that you're in that space of struggle, noticing that you want to be feeling differently or functioning differently and looking for support, whether that's from professionals, whether it's trying to amp up your support in the community. for example, we just did a carpool with someone to soccer for one of my kids. so there are lots of ways to access and kind of increase support in your life and looking for as many of those as you can when you find yourself in that space of struggle is so important. >> what about processing stuff that's totally out of your control, news about school shootings, drugs on campuses, violence? how do you counsel parents who are worried about their kids' safety or just being exposed to the perils of

the world now? >> absolutely. we've seen so many families coming in at sort of a higher level of stress and anxiety after the shootings in georgia last week. i certainly am feeling it. there is so much that is outside of our control as parents and we can focus on the things that are within our control and take action around those things that are within our control. so, for example, if you're a parent finding yourself spiraling about the school shooting, get yourself with your child's teacher or school principal around your specific school policies so you understand and have a clear awareness of kind of the way that your school operates and take action. get involved with an organization like moms demand action or another political organization aligned with sort of your policies and your choice and making movement in that direction. we have a ton of research showing us that we can impact how we feel by asserting our agency in ways that are under our control even

when these larger questions or issues are not. >> great advice. i feel like my blood pressure has dropped already. we could talk to you for hours about this. dr. nina kaiser with practice sf, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. thank you, elizabeth. this isn't the first time the u.s. surgeon general has put the spotlight on an unconventional concern. just last year he declared loneliness a public health epidemic. in an 81-page report he said widespread loneliness in the u.s. poses health risks as deadly as smoking a dozen cigarettes daily costing the health industry billions of dollars each year. this summer the surgeon general proposed putting warning labels on social media platforms saying they contribute to mental health issues among teens. the warnings would be similar to those printed on cigarette packs aiming to increase awareness and change behavior. mandating warning labels on social media platforms would

require congress to pass legislation. in january san mateo county became the first in the u.s. to recognize loneliness as a public health emergency. supervisor david cannipa is taking that further hoping to fund programs specifically for teens and young adults for whom heavy use of social media is increasing their feelings of loneliness and stress. we'll be right back. ♪
