About

This review looks at evidence regarding mental health interventions among children post-crisis to better inform return-to-school strategies following COVID-19. It describes the need for effective programs to help kids with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Noteworthy findings point to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as the most common intervention type, and school-based/related interventions as the most common method.
