In this episode Dr. Amanda Ferguson and neuroscientist Professor Mark Williams discuss the health, developmental and social problems children are facing as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This fallout comes at a time in history when young people with the most well-developed social skills will be the successful adults of the future. Problems in social development, resilience, mental health, and increased suicide risk may be long lasting with the potential to set generations back. The ability for these unfortunate consequences of pandemic life to cause far reaching and long-term harm can be minimised if we take proactive steps with our children now - without delay.
