This edited collection is a follow-up to Algoma University's inaugural conference on mental health and addiction held at the Brampton campus in Ontario, Canada. We live in a society where many marginalized communities continue to bear a historically disproportionate burden on their psychological, mental, and economic well-being, especially under the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has had a continuing impact on marginalized and racialized communities at all levels. We are now witnessing the compounded effects in the form of a worsening mental health and addiction crisis and its subsequent impact on children's education, service delivery, and overall psychosocial well-being.
Covid-19 has widened the gap and increased poverty disparities between high-income and low-income individuals. Furthermore, it has affected the psychosocial resilience of people. As communities of scholars, practitioners, and researchers, we have a responsibility to address these existential issues in ways that are ethical and transformative. This type of engagement should help mitigate the consequences of the pandemic in an intersectional manner. These conversations should assist us in understanding and addressing the trauma and suffering that marginalized communities and individuals continue to endure. Together, we can work to find answers to mental health and addiction challenges, while valuing people's histories and realities within this intersectional engagement.
This book aims to redefine psychiatric discourse in the age of the pandemic and encourage us to imagine how the world can be reformed in ways that are both ethical and political. It has the potential to shed light on the values and realities of communities in discussions of medical sociology, particularly concerning the impact of Covid-19 on marginalized communities.
This book is structured into three volumes. Volume one delves into the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of various ethnic groups. Volume two specifically addresses the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of Afro-Black individuals. Volume three explores the connections between the COVID-19 pandemic, psychological well-being, and colonialism.

這本編輯過的專著是Algoma大學在加拿大安大略省布拉姆普頓校區舉辦的首屆心理健康和成癮研討會的續集。我們生活在一個許多邊緣化社群在心理、精神和經濟福祉上承受著歷史上不成比例的負擔的社會中，尤其是在Covid-19大流行下。Covid-19對邊緣化和種族化社群在各個層面上產生持續的影響。我們現在正在目睹這些影響的累積效應，表現為心理健康和成癮危機的惡化，以及對兒童教育、服務提供和整體心理社會福祉的後果。
Covid-19擴大了高收入和低收入個體之間的貧富差距。此外，它也影響了人們的心理社會韌性。作為學者、從業人員和研究人員的社群，我們有責任以道德和轉型的方式解決這些存在性問題。這種參與應該有助於以交叉方式減輕疫情的後果。這些對話應該幫助我們理解和應對邊緣化社群和個體繼續承受的創傷和苦難。我們可以共同努力找到解決心理健康和成癮挑戰的答案，同時重視人們在這種交叉參與中的歷史和現實。
這本書旨在重新定義疫情時代的精神病學論述，並鼓勵我們想像世界如何在道德和政治上進行改革。它有潛力在醫學社會學的討論中闡明社群的價值和現實，特別是關於Covid-19對邊緣化社群的影響。
這本書分為三卷。第一卷深入探討了COVID-19大流行對各種族群的心理健康所產生的影響。第二卷特別討論了大流行對非裔黑人個體的心理健康的影響。第三卷探討了COVID-19大流行、心理福祉和殖民主義之間的聯繫。
