dc.description.abstractThe COVID-19 pandemic caused many governments to instate life altering measures for their citizens, including social distancing orders, lock downs, quarantines, and the closure of schools and other resources. As a result of these measures, many adolescents experienced prolonged physical isolation from their peers, teachers, extended families, and communities. They also lost many opportunities. This paper reviews the literature on the impacts of social isolation on the mental health and wellbeing of adolescents, including experiences of anxiety and depression. Further, this paper examines how the introduction of COVID-19 measures influences the experience of disenfranchised grief among the adolescent population, and how experiences of grief may be connected to mental health. Lastly, this author provides recommendations for future research and practice within the counselling field.
