To work preventively towards mentally healthy young people, it is essential to have a clear picture of young people's mental health. However, knowledge in this area is fragmented, and developments in mental health follow one another rapidly. New research reports are published regularly. There is also a wide range of approaches and interventions.
Knowledge dossier: Young People's Mental Health
The new knowledge dossier brings together background information and theory relating to the mental health of children, young people and students. What are the trends in young people's mental health, for example? What important risk and protective factors should be taken into account? And what can you, as a professional or policymaker, do to strengthen young people's mental health?
In addition to background information and theory, the dossier also contains practical applications of policies and interventions. For example, you will find more information about an integrated approach in which the environments in which young people live and various partners—such as municipalities, education and healthcare—work together across sectors. The practical tools in the knowledge dossier provide guidance for getting started with this.
