SUMMIT: Scaling-up co-designed mental health interventions for teens

Existing implementation guidelines and frameworks lack utility for those without practical integration experience. SUMMIT aims to address the challenge of integrating new youth mental health interventions into existing services. Following a co-design process with young people, their caregivers, and service providers in Kenya and Mozambique we will develop an effective and useable toolkit to guide stakeholders through the process of adaptation and integration of adolescent mental health interventions. The resulting toolkit will be developed to support the sustainability of mental health promotion, prevention and treatment interventions and with wide variety of sub-groups (e.g. those in school, those in education, those with comorbid physical health conditions).
