Participatory systems modelling for youth mental health: agility and adaptiveness to enhance stakeholder engagement and knowledge sharing
The adoption of more adaptive and flexible workshop activities, and a move away from more structured systems modelling workshop 'scripts', is required to engage diverse participants within the youth mental health space. Results suggest knowledge sharing and stakeholder engagement is an active process that is developed along the course of the workshops, enabled by education and clear communication, empowering participants to meaningfully contribute. Future PSM workshops should continue to develop additional activities and more targeted engagement with youth stakeholders to enhance their contributions.
