- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures have had a significant impact on the mental health of the entire population, especially children and adolescents. It seems appropriate to make a distinction between stressful events, which most families have experienced, and real traumatic experiences, which only the most vulnerable individuals have been victims of. In fact, the most recent data (WHO, 2020) show a significant increase in the rates of intra-family violence against women and minors around the world, during the period of the lockdown. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the spectrum of symptoms that the experience of a complex trauma determines on children and adolescents, and at the same time to indicate the possible strategies to facilitate the early detection of distress indicators and implement the necessary interventions in emergency contexts in an integrated and multilevel perspective.
