General resources

This evidence summary provides an overview of the current evidence for secondary school-based mental health prevention programs.

The evidence summary and accompanying reference table are for health professionals working with young people who have mild to moderate common mental health disorders. The resources provide a summary of the evidence for common brief interventions in youth mental health, taking into account clinical indicators and treatment planning.

This rapid evidence guide has been designed to help sporting teams and bodies make informed choices about the scientific evidence for programs that are designed to promote mental health or to respond to mental health symptoms. The purpose of the guide is to highlight programs that can be used at the ‘whole of club/team’ or sport levels (rather than the individual athlete level) to lead to mental health benefits.
