Covid and Children

From Linda in Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC.

How can I tell if COVID is affecting my child’s mental health?

One Response

  1. There is a half-hour podcast on “What children are needing from their parents during the Covid pandemic” available from https://emergingminds.com.ay/resources/podcast/

    In the same podcast list is another twenty-minute podcast on “The ongoing needs of children following a community trauma” which is aimed at bushfires and similar traumatic events but applies also to lockdowns.

    A whole series of publications and other information is available from the Centre for Community Child Health on https://rch.org.au/ccch/publications-resources/
