“…Furthermore, psychiatric outpatient visits have increased in this area, but the level has remained lower when compared with that in Finland as a whole. These findings are consistent with the previous reports of increased mental health service use among children and adolescents ( 40 – 42 ). A high level of use in inpatient psychiatric services and a nationally low level in outpatient service use in the study area are a concerning finding and advocate for more effective preventive and outpatient-oriented service approaches.…”

BackgroundThe psychosocial wellbeing of children and adolescents is an ongoing global concern. Despite positive outcomes of child- and family-focused programs, the fragmentation of services presents challenges. To enhance harmonization and diminish fragmentation of service policies, we implement a preventive collaborative service model for children and families. The rationale for our study is based on analyses of national and local data before implementing the service model in the pilot area.MethodsThe need for a preventive service model for children and families was demonstrated using national and local data sources. First, a national school health survey was utilized to screen adolescents' perceptions of their depressive symptoms and support. Second, time trends in child and adolescent psychiatric and child protection service use were investigated. For these aims, epidemiological data of the study area (city of Oulu) were compared with data from the whole country (Finland). Third, local usage data of the preventive stand-alone Let's Talk About Children (LT) intervention before the service model implementation were evaluated. After these analyses, Let's Talk About Children Service Model (LT-SM) implementation in the pilot area is described in detail.ResultsThe background data showed that 17% of the adolescents in the study area had reported depressive symptoms, and almost half of them had not received professional help. Child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient visits had increased during the last decade, but the number of visits remains lower in the study area compared with the country as a whole. The number of adolescent psychiatric inpatient days had increased contrary to a decreasing national trend. The number of urgent child welfare placements was also higher compared with the whole country. The local LT intervention data revealed very low utilization rates. These results indicated a necessity to enhance preventive and collaborative support for children and their families. This article describes the implementation of the LT-SM.DiscussionWe demonstrated excessive use of curative services in social and health care and insufficient usage of the stand-alone preventive intervention. The LT-SM is now piloted in one regional service area of the city of Oulu. Its effectiveness will be evaluated when enough data have been accumulated for statistical analyses.

“…They required active attention from the young people, influencing both their investments and sense of agency in different spheres of life, and reducing their possibilities for smooth transitions from education to work and independent living. Depression, for example, which is increasingly diagnosed among the youth (Filatova et al 2019), both reflects and adds to anxieties about the work life and is therefore related to social expectations and pressures targeting young people.…”

The Routledge series Research in Polar Regions seeks to include research and policy debates about trends and events taking place in two important world regions: the Arctic and Antarctic. Previously neglected periphery regions, with climate change, resource development and shifting geopolitics, these regions are becoming increasingly crucial to happenings outside these regions. At the same time, the economies, societies and natural environments of the Arctic are undergoing rapid change. This series seeks to draw upon fieldwork, satellite observations, archival studies and other research methods which inform about crucial developments in the Polar regions. It is interdisciplinary, drawing on the work from the social sciences and humanities, bringing together cutting-edge research in the Polar regions with the policy implications.

“…For psychosomatic symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, depression, irritability, nervousness, headaches, stomachaches, back pain, or dizziness, the proportion of 13-and 15-year-olds who report these disorders themselves has doubled since the 1980s [1]. Similar increases can be seen in other western countries [2,3]. However, selfreported mental health problems decrease during the transition to upper secondary school, after having increased steadily during adolescence compulsory school years [4].…”

Professionals who meet and work with adolescents hold important information and perspectives on adolescents’ mental health that, in addition to the adolescents’ voices, can shed light on complex issues. The aim was to explore professionals’ views on what challenges they face and how they can strengthen today’s adolescents’ mental health. This study involves four group interviews, conducted in March and October of 2020, including professionals with different working backgrounds. Data were analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. Two categories emerged: navigating life arenas and support for mental health. The first category included the demanding aspects of school, the challenges of social media, and the professionals’ thoughts on which pieces of mental health knowledge adolescents are lacking. The second category included what the professionals thought today’s parents need to develop and do to best support their children. Moreover, self-critical views were expressed on which aspects the professionals could do better to improve adolescents’ mental health. In conclusion, listening to professionals working with adolescents talk about adolescents’ mental health gives important insights. According to the professionals, both adolescents and their parents need improved life skills, including a strengthened and empowered self-esteem as well as improved mental health literacy.
