[COVID-19, families and institutions put to the test in paediatric psychiatry].

The lockdown provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a reorganisation of the provision of care. The staff of the child psychiatry unit in Coulommiers has had to redesign the care provision in the light ofthe current constraints and requirements. New tools and methods have appeared, along with a new symptomatology which has had to be understood in its context. The health crisis has also affected the patients. Some have disappeared from view while others show signs of anxiety and panic attacks. Caregivers have managed to adapt in order to guarantee the necessary continuity of care.
