Abstract
The number of adolescents with mental disorders is becoming a worldwide problem, since it has an influence not only on the health of this generation while they are still in this age group but also on their health as adults. The objective of this review aimed to focus on mental health problem and health promotion program among adolescents. The significance of mental health promotion and intervention programs in enhancing adolescents’ well-being and reducing mental health problems is highlighted in this study. There is an opportunity to apply a whole-school strategy with online curriculums. In the digital era, smartphone applications, social networking sites, and the Internet play an important role in daily life, there is an opportunity to develop a mental health promotion program. In addition, through the implementation of evidence-based programs, schools have been placed at the frontline of promoting positive mental health and well-being. The recommended intervention programs can be implemented in a variety of settings, including schools and communities, as well as through digital platforms. Therefore, adolescents’ mental health problems can be mitigated by using effective mental health promotion programs.
