There is a silent pandemic of worsening youth mental health nationally and globally. New research from Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures sheds light on the causal factors and broader determinants of this growing mental health crisis among young people, and what can be done to improve youth wellbeing.
Dr Seungyeon Kim and Dr Madeline Hayward will share some of the key findings from Koi Tū’s long-running research in youth mental health and wellbeing, and shed light on what young people are saying about the factors that both support and compromise their mental health. With a focus on strategies and practical tools that schools can implement at the policy, whole-school, and classroom level to embed positive mental health support into the everyday life of the school, this session is designed to help school leaders and teachers take a practical, evidence-based approach to student wellbeing.
