“…For young people, additional challenges include: presentations of subthreshold disorders; high rates of deterioration and illness progression; high rates of self‐harm and suicidality; impacts on social, educational or vocational participation; comorbid physical health problems; and alcohol or other substance misuse . Consequently, there is a need to create person‐centred and transdiagnostic youth mental health models of care that respond directly to these challenges …”

“…Perhaps even more alarmingly, only 41% of those with a mental illness have sought treatment [3], which may be attributed to a lack of awareness or an unwillingness to seek treatment. Specifically, reasons for not seeking mental health treatment are often tied to negative social commentary, which may stem from inaccurate public knowledge [13] and is often experienced by youth [14].…”

“…Perceptions of mental health issues may also be influenced by comments shared on social media. A key deterrent to seeking treatment for mental health issues is negative perception [6,12], which may stem in part from negative social commentary [13,14]. However, the additivity hypothesis [15] posits that comments that are consistent with a message could boost its persuasive effects, indicating that comments that support using mental health services could reinforce the message.…”

Mental health is an increasingly prevalent topic of public interest, but remains a complex area requiring focused research that must account for negative perceptions surrounding mental health issues. The current work explores the roles of social media information source credibility and valence of social media comments on health outcomes in such a mental health context. We used a 2 (message source: professional vs. layperson) × 3 (valence of comments: positive vs. negative vs. mixed) online experiment to examine the effects of source and valence of comments on trust, attitudes and intentions related to mental health information and services among 422 undergraduate students. Results supported the hypothesized model in which source influenced cognitive trust while comments influenced affective trust. Cognitive and affective trust both impacted attitudes towards mental health information which encourages the intention to share such information on social media. Additionally, affective trust impacted attitudes towards mental services which influenced intentions to seek them out. Source and valence of comments on social media impact different behavioral intentions regarding the use of mental health services. This study provides insights for future social media campaigns promoting mental health service use.

“…Fragmentation across sectors may result in significant treatment delays, inconsistent service use, and discontinuity in the provision of care [ 18 , 20 ]. Addressing these concerns requires achieving system-level integration by strengthening connections between mental health, addictions, health and social services organizations [ 21 , 22 ].…”

BackgroundYouth with concurrent substance use and mental health concerns have diverse psychosocial needs and may present to a multitude of clinical and social service sectors. By integrating service sectors at a system level, the diversity of needs of youth with concurrent disorders can be addressed in a more holistic way. The objective of the present study was to quantify the level of cross-sectoral integration in youth-focused services in Canada.MethodsSocial network analysis (SNA) was used to examine the relationships between eight sectors: addictions, child welfare, education, physical health, housing, mental health, youth justice, and other social services. A total of 597 participants representing twelve networks of youth-serving agencies across Canada provided information on their cross-sectoral contacts and referrals.ResultsOverall, results suggested a moderate level of integration between sectors. The mental health and the addictions sectors demonstrated only moderate integration, while the addictions sector was strongly connected with the youth justice sector.ConclusionsDespite evidence of moderate integration, increased integration is called for to better meet the needs of youth with concurrent mental health and substance use concerns across youth-serving sectors. Ongoing efforts to enhance the integration between youth-serving sectors should be a primary focus in organizing networks serving youth with concurrent mental health and substance use needs.
