Abstract
Using a mixed-method approach, the Youth Mental Health Academy was evaluated by assessing the perspectives of students, teacher-facilitators, and parents/caregivers. Analyses demonstrate high feasibility and acceptability of this program that incorporates problem-based learning, mentorship, and internship opportunities for structurally marginalized high school students interested in pursuing a mental health career.
