The mental health of children and adolescents is a critical global concern, as it affects both individual well-being and population health. Mental health disorders in this demographic can have long-term consequences, affecting productivity, academic achievement, quality of life and even reproductive health. Stigma still exists towards individuals with mental health issues, hindering access to care and acceptance.  This session will explore the intersection of acceptance, belonging, and mental health recovery in children and adolescents.  Drawing on research, case studies and experiential exercises, participants will explore strategies for fostering acceptance, building resilience and nurturing belonging to promote mental health recovery in this vulnerable population.

Objectives:
  • To identify effective strategies for promoting acceptance and belonging in mental health recovery initiatives.
  • To explore the role of acceptance and belonging in mental health recovery.
