Young people’s sense of agency and responsibility towards promoting mental health in Brazil: a reflexive thematic analysis
These findings support an ecological view of youth participation in the promotion of mental health as dependent on intrapersonal, interpersonal and contextual factors. Realising young people's potential in advancing mental health in their communities requires fostering youth-adult partnerships, providing peer support training, and combating adultism and mental health stigma.
