About us
Advocating and collaborating for the mental health needs of young people around the world. The International Association for Youth Mental Health (IAYMH) is a membership-based organisation for professionals, researchers, organisations, policy makers, young people and their families. The IAYMH’s mission is to change the way the global community thinks about young people and their mental health. We want to do this by ensuring youth mental health services are appropriate to a young person’s age and stage of development, and that young people have an active voice in determining what is best for them. IAYMH aims to: - Ensure mental health services are more responsive to the health needs of young people across the world. - Promote public and professional interest in the mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 12-25. - Strive for systems change which delivers an age and stage-appropriate service response for young people, their families and carers. - Meaningfully engage young people and their parents in our advocacy for system change. - Foster international collaboration and communication between individuals and organisations working to improve the health and wellbeing of young people. - Use evidence-informed practices wherever possible. - Highlight new research and best practice in the youth mental health field. Every two years, the IAYMH hosts an international conference in a different global city. Unlike traditional medical research conferences, the IAYMH event is planned and delivered in partnership with young people.
