Most adult mental illnesses onset before age 25 years. Adolescence is a window of opportunity for early interventions, which need to consider age-specific biopsychosocial development, system/context (family, school, social media), and risk/protective factors (peer relationship, bullying). Building on a foundation of knowledge and skills in early intervention in mental health, this course provides further insight into the tailoring, adaptation, and co-creation of interventions with young people, applying in-depth knowledge about developmental stage and life course determinants for key psychosocial interventions and care.
