Alan Stein from Oxford's Department of Psychiatry will discuss his team’s work on the psychological implications of COVID-19. In the midst of the devastating death toll and hospitalisations, the effect of this unfolding pandemic on children’s mental health has been unconscionably overlooked. The overwhelming media coverage and barrage of public health messages, especially when families are in lockdown, sustains a high level of threat which is intensely observed by children. Thus, when adults talk to children, the information needs to consider the child's age to ensure they have a coherent narrative and emotional support for their experiences. The team have created a platform of resources to help make impossible conversations possible for healthcare professionals, families, care home staff and teachers.
