Abstract

Background: Young people have the highest need for mental health support yet are least likely to seek it from professional services. Enabling access and engagement in mental health care is essential to intervening early to provide appropriate and effective care to prevent escalation of young people’s mental health problems. In response, Australia initiated headspace: the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, which provides friend-to-friend (f2f) and online services to young people aged 12-25 with emerging mental health problems. Innovations in technology are being developed to better engage and put young people at the forefront of their mental health care.
