Exploring adolescents' and stakeholders' perceptions of online and school‐based mental health provision

Different types of support met adolescents' needs in different ways, and each offered relative strengths and weaknesses. Findings highlight how adolescents value autonomy and choice when engaging with support, using multiple different sources of support in complementary and self-directed ways to meet their needs. Several challenges were identified across settings, which could be overcome through increased collaboration. This improved collaboration has potential to improve the quality of support available to adolescents.
