The COVID-19 pandemic caused many changes in our every day life. The protective measures that were implemented are necessary, but can also have significant effects on peoples emotional wellbeing. Fear, anxiety, anger and sadness are increasing, because of the closure of schools, the distance from peers and adapting to new methods of learning and working, but also because of balancing of work and choirs at home, taking care of the children, fear of losing your job and the family livelihood.
To help deal with these challenges UNICEF in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the University Clinic of Psychiatry are developing a series of video with advice from professionals and hosting live online sessions for children, young people and parents.
We want to provide a platform for genuine connection amid uncertainty, encouraging all to send in questions so that our national experts can provide advice.
