Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic crisis began in March 2020 with strict containment measures imposed in most countries to contain the spread of the virus. Recent studies have highlighted the deleterious effects of the first waves of COVID-19 on the mental health and well-being of the general population. More than a year has passed since the onset of the crisis, and psychological distress and emotional exhaustion among people of all ages are on the rise. Educational institutions, outpatient psychological and social care services, and residential services such as prisons and youth welfare institutions have been operating for more than a year under the pressure of the crisis and the associated health measures. In the face of the adversity of this long and unprecedented health crisis, people and institutions have had to "cope" and develop strategies to survive. It is essential to recognize the multiple traumas associated with this crisis in different population groups (in terms of age, gender, social level, social vulnerabilities, and sector of activity). It is also recommended to identify the different processes and types of resilience that have been developed during this crisis. The aim is to develop and strengthen policies that support the resilience of people and institutions in the post-COVID-19 crisis.
