Changement de pouvoir dans la recherche sur la santé mentale des jeunes : Leçons clés tirées par des chercheurs internationaux lors de la conférence de l'IAYMH
Les écosystèmes de santé mentale, qui englobent à la fois les systèmes formels (comme les politiques) et les relations informelles (comme les interactions communautaires), jouent un rôle crucial dans le soutien au bien-être de la population. Lors de la 7e édition de l'Association internationale...

Many young people in Indonesia grow up facing difficult experiences such as bullying, harassment, and various forms of abuse by peers or family members. These Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can have serious and lasting effects on their mental health and development and are linked to depression, trauma, substance use, and higher risks of dropping out of school, early marriage, and violence.
Despite the scale of the problem, programs that prevent or respond to these challenges are limited. Supportive systems within schools, families, and communities are often not equipped to deal with the trauma and stress that youth experience. Building environments that protect and empower young people is essential to their mental health and wellbeing.

What we’re funding in Indonesia
Proof-of-concept funding:
Proof-of-concept (POC) funding up to $250,000 CAD will be awarded to early-stage projects that can implement, test and refine solutions to country-specific personal, social, and/or environmental factors impacting young people’s mental health and wellbeing in one of the 12 countries.
In Indonesia, we seek bold Proof-of-Concept ideas to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences among young people. These innovative solutions should focus on addressing peer and/or family violence against young people.
Transition-to-scale funding:
Transition-to-scale (TTS) funding between $300,000 CAD and $1,500,000 CAD will be awarded to support tested mental health promotion and prevention approaches that align with country-specific priorities along their scaling journey to help catalyze their sustainability and impact.

Ecosystem catalyst funding:
Ecosystem catalyst (EC) funding between $200,000 CAD and $300,000 CAD will be awarded to organizations that can address priority barriers to scale, such as legislation, evidence, coordination, and mobilize demand to help mental health initiatives succeed and grow in one of 12 priority countries.
In Indonesia, we’re funding Ecosystem Catalyst projects that strengthen coordination among mental health stakeholders in to support accountability of national mental health policy implementation at regional and local levels, particularly those policies focused on youth, at all levels.
