Description:
It has been estimated that around one in five young people will experience mental health problems during their adolescence, many of which continue into adulthood. This research was undertaken to help understand what young people in Northern Ireland have concerns about - now and in their future. It also explores what helps them cope with these issues.

The information in this report formed the basis of the Design for Living conference themes of creativity, knowledge of support sources and physical activity and self-esteem as protective ways to support young people's mental wellbeing.
