When it comes to mental well-being, young people aren’t just beneficiaries. They’re essential partners. Engaging youth in the co-creation process offers numerous benefits for both the young participants and the organizations involved. This approach is an integral framework of our Headstream program. It serves as a practical guide for organizations, companies, innovators, policymakers, and community leaders who want to design programs and strategies with young people, not just for them. It offers clear steps for meaningfully involving youth in shaping the solutions that impact their lives.
