Since the outbreak in 2019, COVID-19 has spread around the world, and the ongoing infection and isolation have had a different psychological impact on people. This paper focuses the study group on college students, aiming to investigate the relationship between family environment and college students’ psychological health under COVID-19. Based on relevant empirical studies since the epidemic, this study divides the family environment into subjective and objective environments. The subjective environment includes family economic status, family structure, and other objective factors; the subjective environment includes family function, parent-child relationship and parenting style. Finally, this paper provides specific suggestions for different groups such as the government, universities, and parents to improve the mental health of college students during the epidemic.
