Young people experience one of the highest rates of mental health
problems of any group, but make the least use of the support
available to them. To reach young people in distress, we need to
understand what this digital generation want from mental health
professionals and services. Based on interviews with nearly 400
young people, this book offers a vision of youth mental health
issues and services through the eyes of young people themselves. It
offers professionals important insights into the meaning of
identity and agency for this generation and explores how these
issues play out in young people's expectations of mental health
support. It shows how, despite young people's immersion in digital
technology, genuine and trusting relationships remain a key
ingredient in their priorities for support. It considers what
access to mental health support means for a generation who have
grown up with the immediacy enabled by digital technology. Young
people's accounts also provide crucial insights into how they are
using digital resources to manage their own mental health - in ways
often not appreciated by professionals who design internet
interventions. What Young People Want From Mental Health Services
offers clear guidance to counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists,
youth workers, social workers, service providers and policymakers
about how to work with youth and design their services so they are
a better match for young people today. It contributes to a growing
movement calling for a 'Youth Informed Approach' to mental health
to address the needs of young people.
