As more folks are vaccinated and reopening continues, mental-health experts say it s important to acknowledge and treat the trauma many children and teens experienced during the pandemic.
Kids were concerned about a deadly, contagious disease during a time of political turmoil, and were separated from friends or family without the stabilizing influence of schools, said Bob Sheehan - CEO of the Community Mental Health Association of Michigan. It s not surprising, said Sheehan. They re responding appropriately. That s a rational response, to be anxious and depressed. The impact of these crises will last for years, and the way to make sure we address that is to be attentive to it, and provide services and supports throughout the years that come.
