What is it about?
This commentary suggests that we need to consider actions at different levels to support children's mental health in the pandemic. We can consider interventions that help individual children directly, policies that support parents and families, or community-based resources. Understanding the unique needs of different communities, some of whom have been more affected than others, and building interventions at different levels are both important.
