A team of UK researchers has found a deeper impact of Covid-19 on the mental health of children and young people that could result in an increased demand for support services.The research, led by the University of Exeter and the University of Cambridge, is the first to examine research that has information on young people’s mental health before and during the pandemic.The study gives more insight into changes in mental health of children and young people of various ages across the globe during the pandemic.”Our review of the research in the field provides further evidence that already-stretched services are likely to see an increase in demand, but that perhaps things are not as bad for everyone as some headlines make them appear,” said Dr Tamsin Newlove-Delgado of the University of Exeter.
