HealthDay Now: The COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Effects on the Mental Health of Children
Watch our latest HealthDay Now as we take a look at how living through the COVID-19 pandemic impacts children socially, mentally and emotionally.
One year in, this is their "new normal," but what does that mean for them? From social isolation to remote learning to a loss of structure and normalcy, we discuss how living during the pandemic has both short- and long-term effects on children.
Mabel Jong from our liveblog team speaks with:
- Dr. Mark Reinecke, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Northwestern University
- Tracy Compton, a parent
- Stephen Guerriero, a teacher
- Jake Anderson, a student
