Prevention, promotion and impact, how Europe can improve youth mental health
Youth mental well-being is predicated on prevention, promotion, and an impact-based approach. A new report by the Z Zurich Foundation gets to the heart of the youth mental health crisis.
Mental well-being is a critical yet often overlooked issue, particularly among the youth. Despite its profound impact, it remains underfunded and deprioritized.
A strategic focus on promotion and preventative measures is paramount for sustainable progress.
Investing in the mental health of young people not only saves lives but also yields significant benefits across various life domains. Addressing mental well-being enables individuals to reach their full potential, manage stress effectively, and contribute positively to their communities.
This special report looks closely at how Europe invests in its youth, promoting a more holistic approach to mental health, and saving healthcare costs in the long run.
