The aim of this narrative review is to examine the most prevalent multiple or interconnecting risks of mental health problems that have been identified in previous reviews of the literature and to examine those most prevalent for children and young people. Overall, ten databases were searched for published literature reviews, and from 1,556 unique hits, 91 reviews examining individual risks were included, with 35 reviews examining interconnecting risks. The findings suggest that interpersonal connection plays a central role in interconnecting risks, as indicated by the number of interconnections between social groups, interpersonal, parental relationships and family cohesion with other risk themes. Family and systemic approaches have clear value in supporting young people by enabling the development of a secure relational foundation on which to build future protective interpersonal connections.

This evidence review focuses on the mental health of young people between the ages of 12 and 18 years. It looks at some of the more common mental health problems experienced by young people, the factors that influence youth mental health and what support young people can draw on if they have a mental health difficulty. It identifies a range of factors influencing mental health, including social and cultural influences, environmental and individual factors. It also includes key facts and figures on youth mental health in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Based on the findings, the review provides key messages about emerging trends in youth mental health in Ireland and Northern Ireland, highlights research findings on effective approaches, and lists a number of agencies and organisations providing specialist training and resources. The resource is aimed at front-line professionals who come into regular contact with young people and who want to have a greater understanding of what some of the risk factors are, to recognise the warning signs, and to determine what they can do to support young people.

Unemployment and psychological distress among young adults in the Nordic countries: a review of the literature

This article reviews Nordic research, published from 1995 and onwards, on the relationship between unemployment and mental health among young adults. Cross-sectional, longitudinal and time-series studies are included. Cross-sectional studies show that the unemployed experience more mental health problems than the non-unemployed. Leaving unemployment is associated with increased well-being. Economic problems, feelings of shame and poor social support increase the likelihood of psychological distress. The longitudinal studies show that unemployment increases the risk of psychological distress and attempted suicide, after initial mental health status and confounding factors are accounted for. The relationship remains significant when time-invariant characteristics of the individuals are controlled for. The time-series studies found no relationship between unemployment and suicide, but levels of psychological distress were found to vary with changes in the labour market. This relationship remained significant after excluding the non-employed, indicating that unemployment trends have effects beyond those directly associated with unemployment. (Publisher abstract)

It has considered how we can deliver better outcomes for children with mental health problems and identified practical solutions to how those delivering, managing and commissioning services can address the challenges they face

Community care has been adopted as the principal service delivery strategy to various target groups, especially the mentally ill, in Hong Kong. The success or failure of community care services depends upon the input and support from the formal sector, the informal sector and the interweaving between the two. This paper reports on youth attitudes, acceptance, views on integration and perceptions of the ex-mentally ill. However, a substantial majority of respondents still maintain a "no opinion" attitude.

In many countries, adolescents in the child protection system present with serious emotional and behavioral problems. In order to address their specific needs, therapeutic residential care (TRC) programs have been created. The goal of this study is to analyze the profile of 353 adolescents in TRC in Spain. Data on family history, high-risk behaviors and their process of intervention in the child welfare system were collected, as well as the clinical profile through the Youth Self-Report (YSR). Results showed a high frequency of high-risk behaviours, especially violent behaviours, substance abuse, running away and suicidal behaviors. About 90% of the sample had a history of continuous mental health treatments starting at an average of 10 years old. About 70% of the sample scored above the clinical threshold of the YSR. Girls exhibited a specific pattern of risk behaviors and mental health needs, showing greater psychological distress and a more complex profile. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report explores the use of technology among children and young people and the impact on their mental health. It considers the impact of screen time and of different types of screen use; how vulnerable groups may be affected, such as those with mental health problems and very young children; bullying and safeguarding issues; and the potential for addiction to screen use. The report was informed by a scoping review of the literature, and highlights key systematic reviews and studies. The report also provides practical guidance for children and young people, parents and carers, clinicians and teachers. It also includes recommendations aimed at government and technology companies, so that the risks associated with the use of technology for this age group are robustly tackled at the same time as its benefits are maximised.

This report provides a review of recent evidence and an overview of a preventative approach to mental health problems in children and young people. The report highlights some key risk and protective factors for young people’s mental health. These include risks from adversity experienced in early life; disadvantaged environments; the process of exploring identity, and transitions such as leaving school for the workplace. Protective factors included benefit of social support from family, friends and communities; emotional literacy; and early intervention. Based on the research and the suggestions of a Youth Advisory Panel, the report identifies five actions for change to support good mental health and prevent the development of mental health problems. The actions cover change at the individual, family, community, and societal level. (Edited publisher abstract)
