Policy and programme managers
Materials for policymakers and programme managers
Adolescent mental health requires systemic action across policies, programs, and services. Policymakers and programme managers play a key role in shaping strategies that prioritize prevention, expand access to specialized care, and ensure sustainable funding. Intersectoral collaboration across education, health, and social welfare strengthens service delivery and promotes long-term impact.
This platform provides evidence-based resources, including policy briefs, case studies, and research, to support the design, implementation, and evaluation of effective mental health programs. It offers guidance on impact measurement, quality assurance, and capacity-building for frontline workers, ensuring that interventions are scalable and responsive to diverse cultural and regional needs.
