We’re happy to share with the OEGlobal community that, for the past two years, AlmaFuerteLab, (youth leader) has been part of the United Nations Annual Report on Youth Mental Health, contributing through our work in education, wellbeing, and youth development.
We wanted to share this with you and, most importantly, invite you to explore and read the report, which brings together perspectives and experiences around youth mental health.
We hope you find it interesting and that it sparks further conversations around this important topic.
Many thanks Ana Michelle for sharing this important and significant report. Indeed, there is a lot to take in. The executive summary makes a case for the urgency:
In today’s disorienting and complex global landscape, young people are navigating unprecedented challenges—shaped by economic instability, climate emergencies, social injustices, and the pervasive influence of digital culture—that profoundly impact young people’s mental health and well-being. This flagship calls for a holistic, community- centered approach that affirms youth agency and supports their well-being as they navigate present challenges and shape a more just, sustainable future.
I’m curious how the Youth Mental Health & Well-being Ecosystem Model described and illustrated in the report is put to use.
We hope you find it interesting and that it sparks further conversations around this important topic.
