Focus on the whole context/environment not just individual behavior.
3
Focus on increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors at the community level.
We all have role to play.

For youth mental health and well-being, that means creating community conditions that support young people rather than relying solely on mental health clinicians or other crisis responses.
When community efforts move upstream, great things happen.
