“…Several programs were focused on the Internet-based relationship education, which offered skill training for effective communication and problem-solving techniques, and there were also programs aimed at improving the awareness and attitudes of youth towards mental health issues. It can be noted that cognitive-behavioral therapists were interested in online interventions, as there have been reports of several CBT programs related to symptoms of depression (according to Clarke, Kuosmanen & Barry, 2015). The authors conclude that there is a tentative evidence that skill-based interventions (within mental health promotion interventions) presented in a module-based format can have positive effects on mental health of adolescents.…”

“…However, the conclusion is drawn on a relatively small number of studies. The online prevention interventions produced promising results concerning computerized cognitive behavioral therapy interventions and the way they affect symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents and emerging adults (Clarke, Kuosmanen & Barry, 2015) CONCLUSIONS The use of ICT is common today, and particularly important for adolescents who do not know how to communicate and access information prior to the Internet. Given that the Internet provides a very wide range of content and activities, it is not easy to distinguish between what is potentially positive and what is negative for adolescents.…”

ABSTRACT. Today's generations of adolescents have grown up with information and communication technologies which have a significant place in their lives. One of the important issues in this context is the relation between the Internet and the mental health of adolescents. The first topic that this paper deals with, is the relationship between the use of the Internet and mental health, and the other is related to the planned use of the Internet for the purpose of improving wellbeing. The most common activity of young people on the Internet is social networking. Online social networks can positively affect wellbeing through facilitating self-disclosing and the availability of social support. Such findings from empirical research support the ideas of theories that emphasize the positive aspects of online relating. However, social networks (and online communication in general) can also have significant negative effects on the mental health of adolescents, if they are exposed to cyberbullying. The second topic of the paper is the planned use of the Internet for the purpose of improving mental health. To young people (and to members of other age groups, as well) online support groups are the most accessible nowadays, aimed at supporting a group of people with a common problem or life challenge. These forums are most often text-based and this kind of communication has a number of potential benefits for users. It is also possible to organize online interventions that 1

“…Populations that present particular engagement challenges, such as homeless youth, use social media to communicate with service providers, kin, employers, and friends (Rice & Barman-Adhikari, 2014). Organizations concerned with youth mental health are using social media for prevention programming (Clark, Kuosmanen, & Barry, 2015). Software programs have been developed in child welfare to facilitate communication and information exchange between case managers and care providers (Dodsworth et al, 2013).…”

Keywords: Foster care; social media; technology; case managementSocial media and other digitally-based technologies are increasingly becoming commonplace platforms for both communication and connection. In the field of public child welfare, social media can pose a complex mix of risks and benefits. Its benefits include expediting such case management tasks as client contact and communication, keeping children and youth connected to siblings and family, mining for potential family and relative connections for children in out-of-home care, finding missing parents and/or runaway youth, and coordination among care-givers. Despite its many potential uses in supporting case management tasks, social media also has risks that include breached confidentiality, invasion of privacy, and inadequate protection of child, family, and worker information. Yet, there is little information in the empirical literature about either the employment of social media in public child welfare or its ethical, effective, and safe use. We undertook an exploratory study of state child welfare training administrators to examine the use, policy context, staff training, and perceived risks and benefits of social media in public child welfare.

“…In a systematic review of online mental health interventions for young people, however, limited-uptake, engagement, adherence and dropout rates have been identified as significant problems [46,47] Some researchers, including ourselves, believe that the involvement of young people and youth health professionals in the design, development and delivery of youth services leads to beter engagement and outcomes [48][49][50].…”

Background: The Mental Health eClinic (MHeC; including health promotion, assessment, screening, triage protocols, treatment via video conferencing, and self-directed mental health support) aims to deliver best practice clinical services to people experiencing mental health problems by breaking down traditional barriers to care and making healthcare more personalised, accessible, affordable and available. Objective: The aim of this study was to use participatory design (PD) methodologies with end-users (young people and youth health professionals) and our research team to develop the MHeC to improve timely access to, and beter quality, mental health care for young people across Australia. Methods: A research and development (R&D) cycle for the co-design and build of the MHeC included several iterative PD phases: PD workshops; knowledge translation of ideas generated during workshops to wireframes; rapid prototyping and one-on-one consultations with end-users, including assessing usability of the alpha build of the MHeC. Results: Four PD workshops with end users and our research team (n=37), four knowledge translation sessions, and one round of one-on-one end-user consultation sessions (n=6) were conducted. The iterative R&D cycle validated five main components of the MHeC for young people: home page and triage system; a comprehensive physical and mental health assessment; a detailed dashboard of results; a booking and video visit system; and, links to apps and etools recommended by youth health professionals. Conclusions:The MHeC presents a technologically-advanced and clinically-efficient system that can be adapted to suit a variety of settings in which there is an opportunity to connect with young people. This will enable many young people, and especially those currently not able or willing to connect to face-to-face services, to receive the right intervention from the right service at the right time.
