COVID-19: Supporting Parents, Adolescents and Children during Epidemics
What is the study about?
The Co-SPACE study and its partner studies were set up to help us understand how families have coped throughout the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, and what parents can do to support their children’s mental health.
The results have helped us to find out how children, young people and their families have been getting on, what is working for them, and what they are finding difficult so that we can understand how best to help.
