A Student-Led Approach to Mental Health Services: Seattle Youth Mental Health Report
A comprehensive report outlining a student-led strategy to improve access to mental health supports through prevention, early intervention, and treatment across schools and community partners.
This report synthesizes research, data analysis, and extensive engagement with students, families, educators, and providers to assess youth mental health needs, system gaps, and barriers to care.
It presents a tiered framework—prevention, early intervention, and treatment—with specific recommendations such as improving awareness of existing resources, reducing stigma, expanding enrichment programs, implementing proactive screening and referral, and increasing access to therapy. The findings and recommendations are designed to inform coordinated investments and policy decisions to improve student well-being and equitable access to mental health services.Â
