How to help children and adolescents get through the Covid-19 experience - 2023.


55

Children and adolescents have suffered from the Covid-19 pandemic. Their quality of life and their mental health have deteriorated. To help them get through this ordeal, it is important to take into account the most significant elements of their experience, the destabilization of their reference points and their points of support, the worsening of their feeling of insecurity, the reactivation of the after-effects of other traumas, as well as their living conditions, which are sometimes very difficult. Psychotherapists and other professionals have had to adapt their practices and it is important that collective reflection expands on these arrangements.
