Evidence summary

The evidence summary and accompanying reference table are for health professionals working with young people who have mild to moderate common mental health disorders. The resources provide a summary of the evidence for common brief interventions in youth mental health, taking into account clinical indicators and treatment planning. We have also included some recommendations that can inform brief interventions for young people seeking help in primary care settings.
