| Sumario: | This research aims to analyze the statal management of mental health problems of girls, boys, and teenagers. It took place at the Carolina Tobar García public hospital in the city of Buenos Aires, the only hospital specialized in pediatric mental health in Argentina. Regarding its methodology, the study in this article was based on an ethnographic method and was developed during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021). It was based on conducting interviews with professionals along with participation in virtual and synchronic clinical athenaeums, due to the impossibility of conducting face-to-face participant observation. The main challenges faced by the professionals of the institution will be analyzed, as it is the only specialized mental health hospital for children and teenagers in the country. Some of the practices, conceptions, and professional strategies combined with the current organization and centralization of statal care resources will be addressed. The exceptional context during the year 2020 will be of central importance, because the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic matched with the deadline established by the National Mental Health Law to reform the specialized mental health institutions in the sanitary system. |
