儿童和青少年容易受到2019年新型冠状病毒(新冠肺炎)疫情的影响，并倾向于表现出创伤后痛苦。疫情发生后，各国政府和社会组织经常为儿童和青少年提供心理服务，以缓解他们的痛苦。然而，许多青少年报告说，即使在创伤事件发生很长时间后，也会感到痛苦，因为学校或家庭中的创伤气氛尚未得到解决。为推进这一问题，本文提出了应对新冠肺炎疫情的儿童青少年心理服务合作提供模式。这一模型认为，心理服务应同时包括社会、学校和家庭系统，这些系统相互作用，具有协同效应。社会制度不仅为儿童和青少年提供直接服务，而且还为他们的学校和家庭系统提供服务；学校和家庭系统合作支持青少年。心理工作还需要强调学校和家庭系统的关键要素。要关注学校系统中的教师痛苦、师生关系和同伴关系，以及家庭系统中的父母痛苦、亲子关系和婚姻关系。通过这些方式，青少年可以在灾难发生后实现有效和可持续的恢复。
Children and adolescents are susceptible to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic and tend to show posttraumatic distress. Immediately after an epidemic, governments and social organizations often provide psychological services for children and adolescents to relieve their distress. However, many adolescents report distress even long after a traumatic event because of the unaddressed traumatic atmosphere in schools or families. To advance this issue, this article proposes a cooperative model of psychological services provision for children and adolescents in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. This model suggests that psychological services should simultaneously include social, school, and family systems, which interact and have a synergistic effect. The social system provides direct services not only for children and adolescents but also for their school and family systems; school and family systems cooperate to support adolescents. Psychological work also needs to emphasize the key elements of school and family systems. Attention should be given to teachers' distress, teacher-student relationships, and peer relationships in the school system, as well as to parents' distress, parent-child relationships, and the marital relationship in the family system. In these ways, adolescents can achieve an efficient and sustainable recovery following a disaster.
