Reimagining youth mental health: A discussion paper about how to tackle the youth mental health crisis

Good mental health – or mental wellbeing – is an important asset in young people’s lives.

High levels of mental wellbeing are a driver of learning, creativity, productivity, good relationships, greater civic participation and physical wellbeing.

It allows young people to reach their full potential and has a positive impact on society.
