Centering Youth Voices in Creating a Community-Driven Research Agenda for Upstream Suicide Prevention.
Responsive to local concerns about youth suicidality, we highlight an event hosted by a long-term community-engaged research partnership focused on upstream community interventions to promote youth mental wellness.
This workshop aimed to listen for direction from youth and community about the implications of research results, including their hopes and priorities.
Approximately 60 community members and youth participated in a half-day world café style event that was co-designed with youth and a community advisory council, using critically reflective dialogue.
Five priorities emerged, generating a robust agenda to guide a continuing program of responsive, community-engaged and youth-led research. Participants envisioned research serving to, in and of itself, promote resiliency among youth by virtue of its role in cultivating connection, belonging and positive social climates.
This half-day workshop provided a rapid, intensive platform for identifying community and youth priorities while strengthening connections among community partners.
