Summary: This study evaluated the effects of the EspaiJove.net program on mental health knowledge, help-seeking, and stigma attitudes in adolescents. The results showed that the interventions increased mental health knowledge in the short- and long-term, but did not significantly reduce stigma or improve help-seeking behaviors. Contact with someone who has experienced mental illness did not reduce stigma attitudes.

Summary: The implementation of a school-based mental health promotion program resulted in decreased psychological stress symptoms among adolescents with mental health problems, with no significant changes observed in adolescents at risk or without mental health problems. Knowledge about mental health increased for all adolescents. Understanding the changes in psychological stress symptoms and knowledge among adolescents has important implications for school-based mental health intervention research and practice.

Summary: This study examined the association between proximity to Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) and mental health and well-being in adolescents living in London. The results did not support the hypothesis that living close to SINCs would be associated with better mental health and higher levels of self-esteem and happiness. Further research is needed to explore this topic.

Summary: This study aimed to construct a theory that explains the process of public health nurses experience when encountering people with mental health problems based on their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about mental health. Managing mental health encounters in primary health care was a personal and complex decision-making process that depends on the public health nurses' professional comfort zone and acquired mental health literacy.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and mental health literacy (MHL). The results showed that the well-being of half of the educated Iranian citizens who participated in the study was poor. The study suggests that people's well-being cannot be improved by merely implementing mental health educational programs.

Summary: Mental health nurses often experience emotional adversity and stress at work, impacting their psychological well-being. Strong associations were found between psychological well-being and workplace resilience, as well as depression. Possessing a postgraduate specialist qualification may be a key factor in improving psychological well-being for these nurses. Strengthening workplace resilience is an important strategy to support mental health nurses' well-being and reduce the risk of mental distress.

Summary: Brain health is crucial for physical and mental health, social well-being, productivity, and creativity. Current neurological research focuses on treating diseased brains and preventing further deterioration rather than on developing and maintaining brain health. Interdisciplinary collaboration may shed light on the interconnectedness of physical, mental, environmental, and socioeconomic determinants of brain disease and health.

Summary: The systematic umbrella review evaluated the effectiveness of interventions for promoting mental health and mental well-being, as well as for the primary prevention of mental health disorders. The findings suggest that cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions, resilience development, mindfulness, and healthy lifestyle interventions can be effective in promoting mental health and well-being in adult populations. There is a need for further rigorous, high-quality systematic reviews to draw more definitive conclusions.

Summary: There have been major advances in promoting mental health and well-being in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) over the past two decades. Now, high-income countries (HIC) are also looking to adopt similar strategies. It is crucial for projects in different global settings to learn from one another to overcome shared challenges.

Summary: The majority of students agreed that student-led campus-based mental health promotion events promoted and supported student well-being. Factors related to this agreement included students' willingness to spend more time on campus due to the event, their feelings about receiving health information from student peers, and the number of activities they participated in. These findings suggest that activities that attract, retain, and educate students about mental health, delivered with the benefits of peer-to-peer health promotion in mind, can support improved student mental health.
