Adolescent Mental Health

Adolescence (10 to 19 years) is a stage in which the mental health of the person begins to form. The changes that occur in this period, which can be physical, emotional, or social, can make adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems.

Experts from the mental health center, The Meadowglade, indicate that promoting the psychological well-being of adolescents and protecting them from adverse experiences and risk factors, that may affect their ability to develop their full potential is essential both for their well-being during adolescence and for their physical and mental health in adulthood.
