الصحة النفسية للأطفال و المراهقين في جائحة Covid-19 : تدخلات تعزيز الصحة النفسية خلال الوباء

Abstract EN

Children and adolescents are not immune to the negative psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it is evident in their suffering from fears, doubts and fundamental changes in their routine as well as the physical and social isolation, in addition to the high level of stress their parents have.

Thus, understanding their feelings and responses is essential to properly meet their needs during this pandemic.

Therefore, in this article we will shed light on children's vulnerability, provide an overview of common symptoms of distress in different ages, and summarize the interventions and resources available to promote children's mental health and well-being during these hard times.

By this, we advocate that priority be given to mental health, including the mental health of children and adolescents.
