Literature Review

Promoting positive mental health among youth in transition 

McCreary produced a literature review of programs designed to promote youth mental health for Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House in Vancouver. This literature review focused on evaluations of community-based programs that promoted positive mental health among youth in transition into and out of adolescence.

The most successful programs focused on positive rather than negative outcomes, allowed youth to develop skills and competencies, enhanced connectedness, and provided opportunities for youth to contribute to their community.
