Abstract

The onset of mental health issues frequently starts during adolescence, where one third of adolescents who are 14 years and younger receive a mental health diagnosis. The state of youth mental health is a major public health concern. The EMPOWER project was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to address youth mental health. The EMPOWER project is a partnership between two after-school programs and an academic mental health hospital in Toronto, Canada, that aims to bolster youth mental well-being. In this Practice Note, we share our community-based participatory research process of how we built the EMPOWER partnership and highlight our lessons learned so far. Through EMPOWER, we aim to codesign, deliver, and evaluate a scalable, evidence-based, and community-informed youth mental wellness curriculum that will be implemented in after-school programs.

通过社区-学术合作加强青少年的情感和行为健康：EMPOWER 项目。

心理健康问题往往始于青春期，14 岁及以下的青少年中有三分之一接受过心理健康诊断。青少年的心理健康状况是一个重大的公共卫生问题。EMPOWER 项目是在 COVID-19 大流行期间为解决青少年心理健康问题而开发的。EMPOWER 项目是由加拿大多伦多的两个课外活动项目和一家学术性心理健康医院合作开展的，旨在提高青少年的心理健康水平。在本实践笔记中，我们将分享我们如何建立 EMPOWER 合作伙伴关系的社区参与式研究过程，并重点介绍我们迄今为止所汲取的经验教训。通过 "EMPOWER "项目，我们旨在设计、实施和评估一个可扩展的、以证据为基础的、以社区为基础的青少年心理健康课程，该课程将在课外活动中实施。
