Show Notes
As psychiatrists, it is important to consider how a young person’s interactions with healthcare professionals can be a key moment in their life, where their agency is either reaffirmed or threatened and undermined.
In this podcast episode, we explore the role of agency in youth mental health, and how upholding this within the therapeutic relationship can have a direct impact on future health outcomes. With the help of our expert panel, we review the impact of optimising young people's agency in conversations about mental health and treatment.
