Which psychosocial treatment approaches for preventing depressive symptoms in children and young people are most effective?
Psychosocial interventions have significant potential for preventing depression in children and adolescents, but there is still uncertainty about which approaches are most effective — particularly across different target groups, levels of risk, and contexts such as schools and families. Systematic reviews show mixed results and highlight the need for a better understanding of which components are effective, which children benefit most from the interventions, and how they can be implemented and scaled in ways that produce lasting impact.
