Flattening the mental ill-health curve: the importance of primary prevention in managing the mental health impacts of COVID19	2020-05-15		.txt	text/plain	1549	77	52	Over the weeks, months and years ahead it is likely that many countries will experience a 'wave' of COVID19 related mental disorders as a result of an increase in risk factors linked to the pandemic such as social isolation; child-maltreatment; intimate partner violence; unemployment; housing and income stress; workplace trauma; and grief and loss. A focus on primary prevention is particularly important to 'flatten the curve' and avoid a surge in incidence of mental disorders stemming from the COVID19 pandemic. Wide-scale use of evidence-based preventive interventions that address the risk factors that are escalating due to the pandemic, including social isolation; child-maltreatment; intimate partner violence; unemployment; financial and housing stress; work-related trauma; and grief and loss will be needed. Skills-building programs that enable children and young people to acquire the social and emotional skills that contribute to resilience, mental wellbeing, and a reduced risk of mental disorders also need to be scaled-up.	./cache/cord-338033-pl5hyzwp.txt	./txt/cord-338033-pl5hyzwp.txt
