Despite its Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan (2013), the WHO reported in 2020 on the "worldwide failure to provide people with the mental health services they need, at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is highlighting a growing need for mental health support" (WHO 2020). There is massive inequality related to the allocation of mental health resources in high- and low-income countries; due to the scarcity of financial and human resources, young people in Latin America rarely receive formal treatment for depression and/or anxiety (Rathod et al. 2017). However, despite the accumulated and ongoing adversity, and the lack of formal mental health care, 50-60% of young people in Latin America experience symptomatic recovery within one year (Stapinski et al. 2013, March et al. 2004).This Follow-On arises from a unique opportunity to bring OLA's ('Building Resilience' MR/S03580X/1) collaborative research on depression and anxiety amongst young people living in urban areas of Bogotá (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Lima (Peru) to new audiences, using art and technology. For over two years, medical researchers in the UK and Latin America have worked together with arts organisations and young people to explore ways that participatory arts practices can usefully be understood as a resource that can support young people to build resilience and overcome depression and anxiety, specifically in contexts where accessing mental health services are neither a practical option nor a priority. The findings to date demonstrate that young people commonly report music, painting, drawing, dance and creative writing as being art forms/activities/processes that strengthen their relationships, affirm their sense of identity and build connections to social support systems and identities. An increased sense of political agency, an opportunity for psycho-social exploration, the promotion of values-based engagement and the development of rich artistic expression emerged as strong factors for participants in the workshops in Bogotá, Lima and Buenos Aires, which revealed the complexity of how the arts build mental health resilience for young people. It is now crucial that the voices and experiences of young people, the ultimate beneficiaries of initiatives, take a central role in the development and implementation of policies, interventions and activities to improve their mental health. Collaboration with young people, arts organisations and policy-makers is at the centre of this project; a response to our partners' desire to continue to use arts-based methods to foreground their data and stories with their own wider communities, local governments, national authorities and international networks. Specifically, this Follow-On project places young people centre stage so that they have the necessary skills to advocate for and influence policy discussions about their mental health resilience and recovery. Young Ambassadors (16-24 year olds) with a history of activism will engage with the OLA research, and design, curate and facilitate creative conversations with policy-makers, ensuring that their urgent and consequential discoveries impact the development of mental health services. The programme will also bring together a network of partners, young people, arts organisations, stakeholders and policymakers from across Latin America, to develop a practical toolkit of arts-based mental health resources to share across the region and beyond. Young Ambassadors and artists from partner organisations will also co-produce public installations in Bogota, Buenos Aires, Lima, and online, which, alongside a bilingual communications campaign, will engage diverse local and international audiences with the original research findings about arts and young people's mental health.

尽管拥有全面的心理健康行动计划（2013年），但《世卫组织在2020年报道》中报道了“全球未能为人们提供所需的心理健康服务，而在Covid-19-19大流行期间强调了对心理健康支持的日益增长的需求”（WHO 2020年）。与高收入国家和低收入国家的心理健康资源分配有关的巨大不平等；由于财务和人力资源的稀缺性，拉丁美洲的年轻人很少受到抑郁症和/或焦虑的正式治疗方法（Rathod等，2017）。然而，尽管越来越有逆境以及缺乏正式的精神卫生保健，但拉丁美洲的年轻人中有50-60％在一年内经历了有症状的康复（Stapinski等人，2013年，2013年，March等人，2004年）。这一跟进是由一个独特的机会将Ola（“建筑弹性”）MR/S03580X/1）带到了居住在波哥大城市（哥伦比亚），布宜诺斯艾利斯（Buenos Aires），阿根廷（Argentina）和利马（Lima）（秘鲁）的年轻人中的抑郁和动画协作和动画合作研究，并使用艺术和技术。两年多来，英国和拉丁美洲的医学研究人员一直与艺术组织和年轻人一起探索参与艺术实践可以理解为一种资源的方式，可以支持年轻人建立韧性并克服抑郁症和焦虑，尤其是在获得精神健康服务的情况下，是一种实际选择，也不是优先选择。迄今为止的发现表明，年轻人通常报告音乐，绘画，绘画，舞蹈和创造性写作是艺术形式/活动/过程，可以增强他们的人际关系，肯定他们的身份感并建立与社会支持系统和身份的联系。政治机构的增强感，一个心理社会探索的机会，促进基于价值观的参与度以及丰富的艺术表达的发展是波哥大，利马和布宜诺斯艾利斯参与者的强大因素，这揭示了艺术如何为年轻人增强心理健康的复杂性。现在，至关重要的是，年轻人的声音和经历，倡议的最终良好性，在制定和实施政策，干预措施和活动中扮演着核心作用，以改善其心理健康。与年轻人，艺术组织和政策制定者的合作是该项目的中心；回应我们合作伙伴的愿望，希望继续使用基于艺术的方法，以其自己的更广泛的社区，地方政府，国家当局和国际网络来培养其数据和故事。具体来说，这个后续项目将年轻人置于中心舞台，以便他们具有倡导和影响有关其心理健康韧性和康复的政策讨论的必要技能。具有行动史的年轻大使（16-24岁）将与OLA研究，设计，策划和促进与政策制定者的创造性对话，以确保其紧急和结果发现影响心理健康服务的发展。该计划还将汇集来自拉丁美洲各地的合作伙伴，年轻人，艺术组织，利益相关者和决策者的网络，以开发一个实用的基于艺术的心理健康资源工具包，以在整个地区及其他地区共享。来自合作伙伴组织的年轻大使和艺术家还将在波哥大，布宜诺斯艾利斯，利马和在线共同制作公共设施，与双语交流活动一起，将与有关艺术和年轻人心理健康的原始研究结果与多元化的本地和国际观众联系。
