Titre complet du séminaire :
Promoting Population Mental Health and Wellbeing for Children and Youth: innovative approaches to policy, practice and research
This presentation addresses the need for innovative policy, practice and research approaches in addressing the social determinants of mental health and promoting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. A mental health promotion approach is outlined, which involves multisectoral action across government, civic society and professional organizations in implementing policies and programmes that strengthen young people, their families and communities, reorients health services to promotion and prevention, and removes structural barriers to good mental health at a societal level.
Drawing on the international evidence, priority areas for effective action across sectors are identified in promoting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. The effective implementation and scaling up of evidence-informed strategies that adopt a whole-of-government and a whole-of-society approach are critically considered. The need for innovative research and practice paradigms to support the development of more sustainable system-level strategies in promoting children and youth mental health at a population level is discussed.
