These are unique and strange times as we go back into a second lockdown.
We would like to use this space to share resources and information regarding Coronavirus, that could be helpful for children and young people’s mental health.
Further, we hope that our position in the sector – working with so many members – can come in useful at this time. The strength of our online connection in the sector should come in handy during these altered work patterns. We aim to keep these pages updated as the situation progresses.
These are uncertain times and can be stressful and isolating, so please look after yourselves and take care of each other.
Protecting Children & Young People’s Mental Health
This is a live briefing considering the impact of COVID-19 on children and young people’s mental health, and the services that support them. The Coalition and its members are committed to supporting evidence-based approach in responding to COVID-19, and ensure we protect against a public health crisis during, and in the wave of the pandemic.
We hope this briefing is useful in orienting what the impacts of COVID-19 might be on children and young people, and assist you in thinking through your own policy, advocacy, practical or operational responses.
If you, or your organisation, would like to contribute to future versions of this briefing please contact us at info@cypmhc.org.uk and we will add you into the drafting group
