The care of young people in mental distress in the covid-19 pandemic: a theoretical reflection
Abstract
Objective: to reflect on the health care of young people in mental distress in the context of Covid-19. Method: this is a theoretical-reflective study organized in three parts. Results: the following perspectives were discussed: Young people in mental distress in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic; Impacts of Covid-19 on mental health care services focused on young people; and New perspectives of care for young people in mental distress during and after the new coronavirus pandemic. Final considerations: psychosocial care services were also impacted by the disease and are in the process of adapting and incorporating new technological resources to ensure emotional support and health care for these young people, even with the imposed physical distance measures. The contemporary youth seem familiar with various technological devices, but the context of social inequality sometimes makes it impossible to access these devices and the internet network. It is necessary to rethink mental health practices and articulate care to cultural projects, television and radio channels, in order to provide spaces for general guidelines and artistic expressions that can be promoted through the strengthening of social networks.
