Community-based programs for youth with mental health conditions: a scoping review and practical implications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Approximately 14% of all adolescents globally cope with mental health conditions. However, community-based psychosocial services for adolescents with mental health conditions are scarce and under-researched. Scant scholarly attention has been paid to leisure and/or social activities in community-based rehabilitation services for adolescents with mental health conditions.

Objectives

To begin to fill this gap, we chose a bottom-up framework to probe the following questions: Which community-based programs for adolescents with mental health conditions exist worldwide? What common characteristics do they present? What is their range of services?

Method

We systematically searched three leading academic databases, reference lists, and worldwide websites in English
