Youth Mental Health

Youth Mental Health

The transition from adolescence to adulthood is associated with frequent mental health difficulties which affect some individuals, but not others, suggesting individual differences in risk and risilience. In some cases, mental health problems can be transient and benign, but in other cases certain complaints and symptoms can be potential signs of more serious issues which can be disruptive to young people’s lives and carry on into adulthood.

The goal of the ENTER study is to improve our ability to offer early support to young people experiencing mental distress via the use of an online early detection tool. We hope that the ENTER study will be informative for developing effective strategies for early intervention and understanding of risk and resilience factors.
