The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in drastic shifts in daily life and routine activities, in addition to significant health, economic, financial, and social consequences. Beginning in March 2020, several countries around the world implemented lockdowns and physical/social distancing measures. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost because of COVID-19 around the world. This massive loss of lives, along with the abrupt changes in day-to-day life because of the COVID-19 pandemic, may have an adverse effect on child and adolescent mental health.
Although on one hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity for more family time, time for resuming hobbies/interests, and an opportunity for an ‘individualized pace of learning’ (for children and adolescents who find traditional school environment challenging). On the other hand, many children or adolescents may be at increased risk due for domestic violence and maltreatment, secondary to pandemic. Children and adolescents with a history of mental health conditions, history of trauma, and parental mental illness or high parental/caregiver distress may be at additional risk during this pandemic.
Little contact with peers, fear of ill health/death of family members, decreased structure, lesser direct contact with teachers at school because of school closures, may be some of the factors that can increase anxiety, behavioral difficulties, and adversely affect child and adolescent mental health during this time. Increased internet use due to the isolation and physical distancing measures, confers the advantages of social connectivity, but, comes with its own risks.
Sometimes teachers come to a point thinking, what can I do more, what can I offer to support my pupil’s mental health.
Above all we should inculcate faith to our pupils, trusting God that this shall pass and we will overcome. As stakeholders of their education, we should be a source of hope and optimism to our pupils.
