On March 6th last year, an International Adolescent health conference we had both been working on to be held in San Diego, USA, was cancelled because of warnings from the CDC about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and a tidal wave of colleagues cancelling from all around the world who were slowly going into versions of lockdown – a phrase that would become familiar to us all very soon. Within 2 weeks, where possible, many of us were working from home, struggling with new technologies, and trying to connect virtually with children and adolescents who were no longer able to attend school or be with their friends. There was nothing normal about this new normal. As psychologists, we had thought about and talked about offering online sessions for the previous 5 years; however, within a month of lockdown, every team member was working with young people using various online platforms. There was significant tension between finding time in a hectic and demanding routine working from home alongside responding to disconnected colleagues’ needs and exhausted, stressed and distressed colleagues working at the frontline in what were often dangerous and uncomfortable conditions.

在大流行中支持青年的一年：共同反思

去年 3 月 6 日，我们一直致力于在美国圣地亚哥举行的国际青少年健康会议被取消，原因是 CDC 发出了关于 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的警告，以及一波同事取消了参加会议的浪潮。世界各地的人们都在慢慢进入封锁状态——这个词很快就会为我们所有人所熟悉。在可能的情况下，在 2 周内，我们中的许多人都在家工作，努力应对新技术，并试图与不再能够上学或与朋友在一起的儿童和青少年进行虚拟联系。这种新常态并不正常。作为心理学家，我们在过去的 5 年中一直在考虑并讨论提供在线课程；然而，在封锁的一个月内，每个团队成员都使用各种在线平台与年轻人一起工作。在忙碌和要求日常工作中抽出时间在家中工作，同时满足与外界脱节的同事的需求，以及在前线通常危险和不舒服的条件下工作的疲惫、压力和苦恼的同事之间存在显着的紧张关系。
