As we pen these words, the COVID-19 pandemic is having profound impacts on human society. Based on decades of research, we know that the accompanying illness, death, social isolation, and malnutrition will have deep and lasting impacts on our children and adolescents, their families, and the communities in which they develop. The pandemic is exposing, with terrible clarity, the disparities in human society-racism, poverty, domestic violence, and child maltreatment and neglect-and tragically will likely amplify the negative impacts that each has on child development and mental health.
在我们写下这些文字的时候,COVID-19 大流行正在对人类社会产生深远的影响。基于几十年的研究,我们知道,随之而来的疾病、死亡、社会隔离和营养不良将对我们的儿童和青少年、他们的家庭以及他们成长的社区产生深远而持久的影响。这场大流行以可怕的清晰程度揭示了人类社会中的不平等现象——种族主义、贫困、家庭暴力以及儿童虐待和忽视——而且很可能会加剧每一个因素对儿童发展和心理健康的负面影响。
