The COVID-19 pandemic led to many months of school closures, quarantining, and social isolation for children and their families. This disruption of routine had significant implications for the mental health of children and adolescents, leading to a parallel mental health pandemic among this vulnerable population (Fegert et al., 2020). While these psychosocial effects were most acute during the initial phase, the ripples of the pandemic continue to be felt during the time of this writing (2022), as we continue to be confronted with the ever-evolving virus and its myriad aftereffects. A review of the literature suggests an increase in depression and anxiety among children and adolescents as a result of the sweeping changes to their environment (Barendse et al., 2022;Vizard et al., 2020;Waite et al., 2021). Fear of contagion, boredom, loneliness, increased social anxiety, irritability, inattention, and increased disruptive behaviors were all observed (de Figueiredo et al., 2021;Jiao et al., 2020). For children with neurocognitive impairments, the impact was even more severe due to a proliferation of factors that will be discussed below (Korpa et al., 2021). Nonetheless, despite the pandemic's pointed impact on mental health, some children and adolescents were actually able to thrive and even noted improvements in their social and emotional functioning (Chawla et al., 2021;Silk et al., 2022). This article will examine the specific impact of the pandemic on young learners with the most common types of neurocognitive disorders and provide recommendations for intervention.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I found Zoom to be an unsatisfying tool for treating young patients. I was able to create a backyard "office, " inviting children and preteens to continue their play therapy sessions outdoors. I review how working outside changed the therapeutic frame. I noticed shifts in boundaries and treatment. Case examples, including a composite patient with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), demonstrate some of the themes that arose in the new setting.

As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of the United States, pregnant women and mothers of infants were among those most affected by fears of the virus, the disruption of health care systems, social isolation, and the collapse of social supports. This article describes how a group of psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic therapists in a community outreach initiative, the SPRING Project, worked to meet these mental health needs by providing affordable psychotherapy at this critical time. Two case reports highlight the ways the pandemic magnified postpartum distress as well as the relevance and efficacy of a psychodynamic clinical approach in resolving such distress. In addition, the author chronicles how early in the pandemic the SPRING Project launched support groups for pregnant women. Participants in this virtual village helped offset the painful isolation of these women and supported their emotional development during their pregnancies.
