Abstract:
Financial challenges, social and material instability, familial problems, living conditions, structural issues, and mental health problems have been shown to contribute to youth homelessness. Based on the paucity of literature on mental illness as a reason for youth homelessness, the current study retrospectively evaluated the association between the timing of homelessness onset (youth versus adult) and mental illness as a reason for homelessness among homeless adults living in homeless shelters and/or receiving services from homeless-serving agencies. Homeless participants (N = 919; 67.3% men) were recruited within two independent studies from Dallas and Oklahoma. Covariate-adjusted logistic regressions were used to measure associations between homelessness onset and mental illness as a reason for current homelessness, history of specific mental illnesses, the historical presence of severe mental illness, and severe mental illness comorbidity. Overall, 29.5% of the sample reported youth-onset homelessness and 24.4% reported mental illness as the reason for current homelessness. Results indicated that mental illness as a reason for current homelessness (AOR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.12–2.34), history of specific mental illnesses (Bipolar disorder–AOR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.24–2.45, and Schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder–AOR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.22–2.74), history of severe mental illness (AOR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.04–2.10), and severe mental illness comorbidities (AOR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.11–1.52) were each associated with increased odds of youth-onset homelessness. A better understanding of these relationships could inform needs for early interventions and/or better prepare agencies that serve at-risk youth to address precursors to youth homelessness.

Abstract:
On 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID- 19 outbreak to be a pandemic, prompting considerable concern around the world. The pandemic has had a devastating impact on the post-pandemic world, affecting every aspect of the system, including the financial and labour markets. The post-pandemic COVID-19 has had an impact on many spheres of social and economic life. In fact, it has been highlighted as a source of mental health illnesses among youth. The purpose of this study is to determine what causes mental illness in youth post-COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 300 youths participated in this study. As a research tool, questionnaires were distributed to ascertain how young people perceive the factors that can lead to mental illness. Questions for the survey were taken from the YoungMinds Malaysia initiative. Job and financial concerns are also discussed in detail. Consequently, the study has been able to determine how youth's mental health perceptions may differ from those of other age groups.

Abstract:
Abstract Today's youth are at a disturbingly high risk for mental health and illness problems and are largely dissatisfied with the existing mental health services. Youth Net/Réseau Ado (YN/RA), supported by input from mental health professionals, is a bilingual mental health promotion program that seeks out the opinions and attitudes of youth regarding mental health and illness issues, while connecting them with appropriate resources and mental health services. This paper describes the Youth Net/Réseau Ado program and provides some guidelines for the identification of mental health and illness problems, including indicators of the risk of suicide.

Abstract:
IntroductionCognitive perspective considers beliefs as key factors of compliance and adjustment in mental disorders (Beck, 2011) that are especially important in youth. In psychosis illness, representation is related to CBT efficacy.ObjectivesWe suggest that in different mental disorders different illness-related beliefs are important for quality of life domains.AimTo reveal relationships between illness representation and quality of life in mental disorders controlling for psychopathological symptoms.MethodsOne hundred and eighteen male patients 17 – 27 years old : 33 with mood disorders, 26 with personality disorders, 27 with schizotypal disorder and 32 with schizophrenia recovering after first episode of psychosis filled Illness Perception Questionnaire, Symptom Checklist 90-R, Quality of Life and Enjoyment Questionnaire (version for mental illnesses).ResultsAfter statistical control for psychopathological symptoms, in personality disorders feeling of personal and treatment control (β = .43–.52, P < .01) as well as belief in longer (β = .42, P < .05) but not cyclic (β = –.65, P < .05) illness duration predicted satisfaction with health while belief in longer duration and less consequences correlated with better satisfaction with leisure time (β = .87, P < .01). In mood disorders, feeling of treatment control (β = .32, P < .05) and belief in shorter illness duration (β = –.37, P < .05) were related to better satisfaction in emotional sphere.ConclusionsBeliefs about illness duration, consequences and control could be important in assessment and CBT for youth with personality disorders while treatment control and illness duration are important in work with youth with mood disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Despite the trends showing a reduction in the use and abuse of drugs among American adolescents, the prevalence rates remain high. There is also comorbidity of mental illnesses among the adolescents using drugs. The aim of this study was to determine the presence and nature of the association between the use and abuse of marijuana and alcohol and mental illnesses among the American adolescent population. The noted comorbidities and the hypothesized association between the substance abuse and mental illnesses were explained using the expectancy theory. Using a quantitative research methodology, secondary data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health for 2014 and 2015 were analyzed. Data analysis yielded a positive but weak association between use and abuse of alcohol and marijuana through proxies such as marijuana use in the past month (p = 0.01), first use of marijuana ( p = 0.016), alcohol use disorder in the past year (p = 0.002), alcohol dependence in the past year (p = 0.001), and the occurrence of mental illnesses. The association was statistically significant in all proxies except alcohol use in the past month. F-test results were also statistically significant (p = 0.022, R2 = 0.242). The findings showed that adolescents who used marijuana and alcohol were more likely to develop mental illnesses. It is recommended for relevant federal and state governments and public health agencies to develop social programs to address the two issues inclusively rather than exclusively.

Abstract:
The aim of our study was to investigate how young people’s situation in society is affected by unemployment and to explore whether young people are affected psychologically by being unemployed, and if so, how. To investigate this, we used quantitative methodology and conducted a survey of 50 young people in two different employment agencies. The results showed that adolescents are partially a part of the precariat social class and that a large portion of the surveyed young people are psychologically affected by being unemployed in a negative way.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the ways mental health providers continue developing and strengthening their skills to have a great impact and overall beneficial effect on the families they are supporting. An interview questionnaire was created to explore participants’ experiences working with families and their children to generate an understanding of their current experiences in the mental health field. Through this study we have learned that the mental health providers are aware of the traits that they have to possess in order to provide the best care for the clients and their families. The participants in the study stay motivated by seeing the positive client outcomes and receiving feedback from their clients and families. They apply new research, go to workshops, are change agents, seek supervision, and network with other professionals for support. The qualitative design was used in order to collect the data from the participants. The study sample consisted of twelve Mental Health Providers. One‑on‑one interviews were conducted, a consent was obtained per participant, and transcribed for thematic analysis. Based on participant narratives, a key finding in this study found that there are barriers to the mental health professionals, due to cost, time restraints, lack of peer support, and supervision. A key finding was the motivation of the Mental Health Professionals to continue providing services to the families was high due to the feedback and positive client outcomes. Future research is needed to explore additional ways to better support the Mental Health Provider in the mental health field.

Abstract:
Young people within the youth justice system experience three times higher rates of mental health problems than the general youth population yet are one of the least likely groups to seek help. Very little theory or research is available within this population to explain these high rates of unmet need. This study aimed to develop a theory about the barriers and facilitators that Youth Offending Team workers experience when supporting young people to access mental health services. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants; eight youth offending team workers, two young people and a mental health worker. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim before being analysed using “grounded theory”. This method was chosen to allow the in depth exploration of participants experiences and the development of theory within an under researched area. The results showed that Youth Offending Team workers appeared to play a crucial role in supporting a young person’s help seeking from mental health services. A preliminary model was developed which demonstrated the complex relationships between six identified factors which influenced this role. The study concluded that Youth Offending Team workers would benefit from more support, training and recognition of the key role they play in supporting young people to become ready for a referral to mental health services. Mental health services could be well placed to provide this. Clinical implications are discussed. Further research is needed to develop our understanding of what influenced the help seeking of this vulnerable population.

Abstract:
The difficulty of distinguishing between genuine disorder and characteristics that can be attributed to high IQ increases the likelihood of diagnostic error by mental health practitioners. This mixed methods study explores the possibility of misdiagnosis of high IQ youth by mental health professionals. Participants were private practice mental health professionals who read case study vignettes illustrating high IQ youth exhibiting characteristics associated with their population. Participants then completed a survey and provided an assessment of the hypothetical client. In the study, 59% of participants were unable to recognize behavioral characteristics associated with high IQ youth unless suggested to them, and 95% of participants were unable to recognize emotional characteristics associated with high IQ youth unless suggested. The results of this study provide much-needed empirical exploration of the concern for misdiagnosis of high IQ youth and inform clinical practice and education.

Abstract:
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur ungdomar resonerar kring psykisk hälsa och ohälsa och hur de främjar sin psykiska hälsa. Deras svar analyserades utifrån ett könsteoretiskt perspektiv. Vår studie har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats och data har samlats in med hjälp av fokusgruppsintervjuer. Bearbetningen av resultatet skedde genom en induktiv innehållsanalys med inspiration av hermeneutiken. Psykisk hälsa är något som ungdomarna beskriver att de gör, känner, främjar och väljer bort. Psykisk hälsa kan också ses som en avsaknad av psykisk ohälsa. Skolan ansågs vara en institution som påverkade deras hälsa i en stor omfattning. Psykisk ohälsa hos kvinnor fokuseras ofta i media och ungdomarnas sätt att resonera kring begreppet speglar detta. Tjejer ansågs av ungdomarna vara de som lider mest av samhällets stereotypa könsroller och skönhetsideal. Tjejers psykiska ohälsa ansågs av ungdomarna ha ett direkt samband med hur de hanterar skönhetsidealen i samhället. Ungdomarnas sätt att resonera speglar de tankar om jämställdhet som råder i samhället, det vill säga att tjejer och killar är relativt jämställda idag, och den komplexitet och de orättvisor som omger genusfrågan.
The purpose of the study was to examine how young adults reason about mental health and mental illness and what they do to promote their own mental health. Their answers were then analyzed from a gender theoretical perspective. The study has been accomplished through a qualitative research method in the form of focus group interviews with young adults. The analysis of the collected data was done through inductive approach with inspiration from the hermeneutic methodology. The young adults in the study thought of mental health as something a person can feel, do and promote, and something that doesn’t have to prioritized if they don’t want to. School as an institution was seen as one of the major things that influenced their mental health. Women’s mental health is often what is highlighted in the media and the young adults way of reasoning about mental health seemed to be influenced by this fact. The young adults thought that young women were the ones suffering the most from society’s stereotypical gender roles. The health of young women was thought of as having a direct connection to how they handled society’s beauty standards. The young adults’ way of reasoning reflected the ideas that exist in society today regarding gender equality in that men and women are relatively equal. The young adults also have knowledge about the complexity of problems that are associated with gender equality.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the results of a multisite comparison of contact-based antistigma programs for middle and high school youth. Contact-based education occurs when people who have had experience with a mental illness provide education about mental illnesses and recovery and give students opportunities for discussion. Ideally, contact-based education creates a transformative learning experience that results in improved attitudes and social acceptance of people who have a mental illness. The proportion of students receiving an “A grade” equivalent on each scale (e.g., 80% are more nonstigmatizing answers) was the main outcome. Programs varied in their effectiveness, but the pooled estimate of effect across all of the interventions indicated that students were 2.57 times more likely to receive an A grade at posttest compared to pretest, indicating a positive outcome overall. Results suggest that contact-based interventions evaluated in this study generally improved social acceptance toward people with a mental illness.

Abstract:
In homeless youth, severe mental illness is an endemic and a serious issue that profoundly impacts this vulnerable population and warrants specific, comprehensive interventions. This chapter reviews the phenomenon, including the mutual interaction between youth homelessness and severe mental illness, its epidemiology, and its broad psychosocial associated factors. It describes the numerous barriers (such as those associated with homeless youth experiences and characteristics as well as social and health services organization) to mental health services related to suboptimal utilization of existing facilities and shortcomings in accessing them for homeless youth with severe mental illness. The chapter also describes factors facilitating access and summarizes efforts that have been made internationally to address these barriers through a rethinking of services organization and by implementation of specific interventions aimed at homeless youth and related populations with severe mental illnesses.

Abstract:
Adolescents have become an important target for antistigma programming. Yet, there are few validated outcome measures that could be used to assess the effects of antistigma interventions targeting youth. This chapter describes the creation and validation of two scales to evaluate contact-based youth antistigma programs that were offered to middle and secondary school students. The chapter provides full psychometric details for individuals considering using these scales and documents the analytic steps taken to develop and test these novel instruments. This information may be helpful for individuals wishing to develop and test their own novel instruments for antistigma evaluation. We emphasize the importance of having clear conceptualizations, covering areas that are relevant to the program’s content, including people with lived experience, and conducting a careful and robust psychometric analysis before using scales to assess program effects.

Abstract:
Open Access paper from the JCPP - 'We have three goals for the present paper. First, we extend neuroimmune network models of mental and physical health to generate a developmental framework of risk for the onset of depression during adolescence. Second, we examine how a neuroimmune network perspective can help explain the high rates of comorbidity between depression and other psychiatric disorders across development, and multimorbidity between depression and stress-related medical illnesses. Finally, we consider how identifying neuroimmune pathways to depression can facilitate a ‘next generation’ of behavioral and biological interventions that target neuroimmune signaling to treat, and ideally prevent, depression in youth and adolescents.'
