Online peer-to-peer support in youth mental health: seizing the opportunity

摘要

Naslund ( ) provide a valuable contribution with respect to the potential of online peer-to-peer support to reduce stigma, promote social connectedness and ultimately, improve the wellbeing of people with serious mental illness. We offer two additional opportunities provided by online social media by fully integrating user-led interventions with research innovation and by advancing a science of social media interventions in mental health. In addition, we provide a brief description of a new model of social media-based interventions developed to enhance engagement and long-term recovery in youth mental health.
