This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact and efficacy of mental health programs in schools that target teenagers in America and other countries. While mental health issues are increasingly affecting adolescents, making them a vulnerable population in dire need of effective interventions, this paper presents a divergent view on the efficacy of such programs. This paper aims to reconcile these different perspectives by conducting an extensive review of relevant studies. Specifically focusing on the outcomes of reaching out, mental health education, and stigma reduction in teenagers. The studies showed significant short-term benefits in increasing the understanding of mental health and fostering access to support. However, these studies also highlight gaps in rigid help-seeking intent and inconclusive long-term benefits, particularly relating to suicidal ideation and attempts. Furthermore, the paper delves into the influence of other factors like parental attachment styles and peer-led programs. Suggesting that a holistic approach to mental health education could offer more robust outcomes.
