BBC journalist Catherine Burns spoke to a group of young mental health ambassadors who urged a boost in mental health support for their generation.
The ambassadors, representing a growing movement of youth advocates, highlighted the gaps in current services and the need for more accessible resources.
They stressed that additional funding, outreach and tailored programs are essential to tackle the rising rates of anxiety and depression among young people.
Their call for increased support comes amid broader concerns about mental‑health care accessibility for younger generations.
The BBC will continue to cover developments in mental‑health policy and support initiatives that aim to address these pressing issues.
