Study finds students are more stressed about isolating than the pandemic.
A team of Mathison Centre researchers are pursuing a year-long study to find out how school aged kids (ages 12-18) are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Initial results investigating everything from resiliency to their mental health found that while most students in Calgary and Edmonton are coping with the stresses of COVID-19, about half fear the social isolation resulting from quarantine protocols more than the health impacts of the pandemic.
