    Description

    Think Talk: Family Risk and Resilience During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Tuesday, July 25 2023  7.30pm - 8.30pm

    The COVID-19 pandemic has created multiple, ongoing challenges to family relationships. Drawing on data tracking families prior to and during the pandemic, this talk will outline the many ways the pandemic increased the risk of harmful family processes, and the factors that helped families remain resilient. Families with pre-existing vulnerabilities (e.g., relationship insecurities)  who faced greater pandemic-related stress (e.g., financial strain) experienced greater relationship problems and family-based aggression when quarantined in the home. However, resilience factors, such as effective emotion regulation and supportive coparenting, counteracted the detrimental effects of stress on family health and well-being. The talk will close by summarising the factors that need to be addressed to mitigate the adverse effects of stress on families.
