Article Synopsis
- Many mental health issues start in late childhood and can lead to serious adult problems if not addressed, especially in low to middle-income countries where treatment is lacking.
- To tackle this, researchers collaborated with children and young people to create a mental health literacy intervention based on their needs, conducting interviews and focus groups with various stakeholders.
- The final product is a digital application designed for 11-15-year-olds, focusing on understanding and managing depression and anxiety, featuring interactive games and exercises for better engagement.
