“…Some studies have shown that the above psychological sequelae may result from social isolation, family financial difficulties, missed development milestones, school disruptions, biological susceptibility, lower baseline self-esteem, a higher likelihood of having experienced interpersonal violence and exposure to stress associated with gender inequity [ 6 , 22 , 23 ]. Similar conclusions have been drawn by other authors; however, some of them [ 24 , 25 , 26 ] add that the time of isolation and the pandemic could have been a particularly negatively challenging task for the LGBTQ community because of limiting contact with others from well-known groups.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the lives and mental health of people around the world, and it has become clinically essential to define risk factors in order to provide adequate prevention and support. The aim of the study was to describe coping strategies in Polish women related to the COVID-19 pandemic using the balance model, one of the most important concepts of positive psychotherapy (PPT after Peseschkian since 1977). The analysis included 735 women at the mean age of 39.61 years. The survey was conducted using the questionnaire form on the website. Based on Beck’s depression test, depressive disorders were disclosed in 32.65%, and both the presence and severity of depressive syndromes were inversely correlated with age. Using a cluster analysis, three adaptation strategies could be identified, related to the different prevalence of depressive disorders. Relationships proved the most crucial area of the balance model, responsible for the effectiveness of the coping strategy. Based on the obtained results, it has to be concluded that preventive measures should primarily concern women aged <25 years old and focus on strengthening the relationships area.

“…While advances in the fields of both IMH and pediatrics are encouraging, the collective challenges and expanding need for infants and young children remain daunting (Fisher et al., 2020; Racine et al., 2021; Shuffrey et al., 2022; Stephenson, 2021). Over the last few years, both laypeople and professionals alike have become increasing alarmed by the high prevalence of early learning and social‐emotional delays at kindergarten entry in many communities (i.e., 20%–40%), and the urgency to prevent these and other negative impacts of toxic stress and adverse childhood experiences on healthy development (Garner & Shonkoff, 2012; Jimenez et al., 2016; Spencer, 2013).…”

“…Unfortunately, the pandemic and associated issues, including the widespread economic impacts and traumatic events that were already occurring around the world but are now increasing due to the war in Ukraine, are expected to combine to foster an increase in mental health disorders across the lifespan (Campion et al., 2020; Stephenson, 2021). In the fall of 2021, a coalition of the nation's leading experts in pediatric health declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health (American Academy of Pediatrics et al., 2021).…”

Relational experiences during infancy and early childhood are key drivers for building health, social emotional development, and learning capacities, each vital for wellbeing. The U.S. child health sectors share a commitment to universal health promotion, prevention and early intervention, and a growing enthusiasm for the research-affirmed primacy of caregiver-child interactions during the critical first 1000 days of life. Given our nation's growing children's mental health crisis, racial justice awakening and the need to reimagine equitable supports for young families post-COVID19, the child health sectors seek new tools and clinical approaches that blend science-to-practice innovations with co-developed activities that are meaningful to families. This special section brings together papers about a journey of co-discovery between researchers, clinicians, and parents during the development and refinement of new video-and interviewbased dyadic relational screening and monitoring tools. The collection of papers addresses a range of topics including early relational health (ERH), development and validation of the Early Relational Health Screen, its application within research and clinical settings, and thoughtful discussions from multiple perspectives. Informed by the diversity informed tenets, this journey highlights not only science-informed approaches, but also co-development with families of equitable approaches to understanding and serving children and their caregivers.

The purpose of this article is to offer K-12 educators, school districts, parents, and university professors, insights on understanding the impact on mental health on adolescents due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Education has pivoted to remote and hybrid learning instruction for students during the pandemic of 2021. This has caused an increase in the amount of mental health issues due to social isolation and the lack of interconnectedness. Grounded in the knowledge of current issues in education, this article provides suggestions on how adolescents can cope during the global pandemic. Additionally, the article contributes to the middle school and high school field by offering insights to stakeholders about how to address mental health issues among adolescents today.
