Covid and mental health of children and adolescents

The Soleterre foundation, www.soleterre.org, and the research group on trauma at the Università Cattolica of Milan conducted a joint research project studying 300 young persons aged 11 to 20, looking to evaluate the traumatic impact of the Covid pandemic on their mental health. The study was conducted from May 2021 to May 2022.

The results of the study were published in November 2002 in the “Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma”: Adolescents in the Covid Net: What Impact on their Mental Health?

During the Covid period, the Soleterre foundation provided psychological support for several hundred children and adolescents as well as for the parents and educators in their lives. Fondation Dora granted financial support for the programme.
