COVID-19: What U-Reporters Have to Say

Since the lockdown started, has the way you access mental health supports and services changed? How has this changed?

• In-person services have moved online
• Loss of access to services (e.g. group therapy and services accessed through school)
• Reduced use of supports and services, because accessing them online rather than in person is difficult and discouraging
What should we be asking young people about to understand what life is like now?
• How they’re feeling, especially about mental health
• How their regular routines and plans for the near future have changed as a result of the pandemic
• How they have been coping with isolation
