Resilience, well-being and informal and formal support in multi-problem families during the Covid-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Covid-19 pandemic may have had negative effects on youth and parental mental health, especially in high-risk populations such as multi-problem families (i.e., families that experience problems in multiple domains, such as mental health and social network problems). Using one to four assessments during all phases of the Covid-19 pandemic up until January 2022, we examined the associations between pandemic-related stress and mental health (resilience and well-being) of youth and parents from multi-problem families. We also investigated whether experienced informal (i.e., youth informal mentoring) and formal support (i.e., therapist support) served as protective factors in this association.

Methods

A total of 92 youth aged 10-19 years (46.7% girls; mean age 16.00
