Abstract
The American Psychological Association (APA) COVID-19 Support for Children and Families workgroup’s overarching aim is to help support children, caregivers, and families who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as professionals working with these groups. Toward this end, we have worked to compile and disseminate COVID-19-related resources to support professionals who are working with children, caregivers, and families affected by the pandemic. This chapter describes our collective efforts to aid children, caregivers, families, and professionals working with children and families during the pandemic, including dissemination of resources. We also discuss key areas of concern we identified during the pandemic that professionals should consider in times of future crises, spotlight groups who were particularly vulnerable, and describe our successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
