GetFit4MentalHealth

(Andre Leonhardt, Msc., PD Gander Manuela, PhD, Prof. Kathrin Sevecke)

Schools provide a great chance to promote mental health, prevent mental health problems and identify children with emotional problems and difficulties. This mental health literacy training package was developed to support mental health of students and raise mental health literacy. The teacher training includes weekly lectures on mental health issues, slide presentations and handouts as well as an implementation plan at Tyrolean schools. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this mental health literacy intervention on mental health knowledge, stigma and help-seeking behavior in young people.
