Welcome to the first issue of Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) in 2021 and also to my first issue as editor‐in‐chief. Needless to say, 2020 has been one of the most difficult years in living memory for many children and young people around the globe, and, as we discussed in our recent issues, the potential impact of COVID‐19 on children’s mental health is profound. The case for increased funding for child and adolescent mental health and investing in research has never been greater. Nevertheless, as we step into 2021, there are seeds of optimism as science drives forward treatment and vaccine developments.

社论：证据，政策和惯例–黄金标准，足够好还是做得不同？

欢迎来到2021年的第一期《儿童和青少年心理健康》（CAMH），也欢迎来到我作为总编辑的第一期。毋庸置疑，对于全球许多儿童和年轻人而言，2020年是生活记忆中最困难的年份之一，正如我们在最近的问题中所讨论的那样，COVID-19对儿童心理健康的潜在影响是深远的。增加对儿童和青少年心理健康的资助以及对研究的投资的理由从未如此大。然而，随着我们步入2021年，随着科学推动治疗和疫苗开发，乐观的种子也随之诞生。
