Topic

Mental Health Promotion for Students: Using Health Promoting School Approach for Multi-factorial Intervention

 

Abstract

Neurodevelopmental changes occurring during youth make it a period of both vulnerability and opportunity for mental health. The disruptions of COVID-19 pandemic and related stressors increase risk for depression, anxiety, and behaviour problems among young people. Creating supportive environment in settings where students study, live and play to cultivate healthy behaviours is critical to promote mental health for students.

Public health education must target the public to clear up misconceptions of mental illness and recognise young people with early symptoms and signs, to encourage and support them to seek help. 4-tier prevention will be discussed in the seminar. Capacity building in implementation of different tiers of prevention is to develop a system of health management to conduct surveillance of risk factors and screening to identify potential cases so management in community setting is feasible.

Effective implementation of different tiers of prevention can provide quality mental health support to not only children and adolescents and also teachers, parents and other supporting staff.
