Ward, S. (2020) Defining mental health and wellbeing with children and young people: a framework for prevention. Project Report. Children's Neighbourhoods Scotland, Glasgow.

Abstract

This report draws on research data from fieldwork carried out by Children’s Neighbourhoods Scotland in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire from November 2019 to March 2020. The original study was carried out with children and young people (CYP) from one primary and one secondary school, using the CNS Capabilities Research Model to support young people to prioritise their goals for wellbeing, and to examine the barriers and enablers to achieving them. Interviews with stakeholders were carried out during the same period. This report presents the wellbeing framework devised by children and young people, offers detailed insights into supporting CYP mental health and draws on the expertise of stakeholders to identify the resources that support and hinder mental wellbeing in Clydebank.
