Abstract
Mental Health for Every Adolescent educates students about mental health and seeks to understand the need for community-based, youth mental health intervention. We completed 74 workshops globally and reached over 3100 students. Here, we describe a successful implementation of programmatic materials that can be disseminated and incorporated into school curriculums.
