How to address mental health in child care institutions through their caregivers during the COVID 19 pandemic?
1 Answers
All stakeholders should have easy access to one other to help address needs of the child: liaison between child-caregiver – institution where:
1. Caregivers need to be in regular touch over phone with their children in child care institutions. They can talk to the children about COVID in simple terms and how they can take care of themselves to reduce their fears.
2. Children should also have the opportunity to reach out to their caregivers (over telephone etc) if they need specific help with their mental health or have concerns.
3. Caregivers need to be debriefed about their child’s mental health regularly by the child care institutions.
