Applying participatory systems approaches to enhance child mental health in local communities in Denmark: a process evaluation

The process of using GMB and participatory approaches proved to be feasible in the two Danish local communities. Participants had a positive experience, identifying key mechanisms, gaining valuable capacity-building skills, and improving collaboration, which benefited their communities. The integration of these approaches appears to have the potential for scaling up in similar contexts.

Abstract

The process of using GMB and participatory approaches proved to be feasible in the two Danish local communities. Participants had a positive experience, identifying key mechanisms, gaining valuable capacity-building skills, and improving collaboration, which benefited their communities. The integration of these approaches appears to have the potential for scaling up in similar contexts.
