«Содействие процветанию подростков» (СПП) -
совместная инициатива ВОЗ/ЮНИСЕФ, направленная
на укрепление стратегий и мероприятий по
укреплению психического здо...овья подростков,
предупреждению нарушений психического здоровья, а
также профилактике самоповреждения и других форм

инициативы лежит концепция, в рамках которой все
подростки, их опекуны, гражданское общество и
местные сообщества объединят усилия с государством
для совместного принятия мер по охране и
укреплению психического здоровья подростков.
Это предполагает необходимость систематического
осуществления и мониторинга основанных на
принципах науки и прав человека стратегий по
укреплению психического здоровья и принятия
мер по профилактике и лечению среди подростков
нарушений психического здоровья и расстройств,
связанных с употреблением психоактивных веществ,
в интересах повышения уровня их благополучия
в долгосрочной перспективе. Эти действия будут
способствовать выполнению задачи
