Based on your feedback and demand we have organised this our next webinar. In the webinar, Ms. Lia Ray, a Psychology teacher of 15 years in Australia discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health in the school context (student/teacher). Join us as we compare , share and contrast in the spirit of collaboration.
The potential for COVID-19 to impact mental health and wellbeing was recognised very early in the pandemic (WHO 2020a). In addition to concerns around contracting the virus itself, some of the measures necessary to contain its spread were also likely to negatively impact mental health (NMHC 2020).
Widespread restrictions of movement, social distancing measures and physical isolation, or ‘lockdowns’, were implemented from March 2020. The loss of employment and social interaction, and the added stressors of moving to remote work or schooling, and more recently, impacts of localised ‘lockdowns’ to prevent further outbreaks have impacted the mental health of many people around the world. Fiji of course is no different.
