SELF-CARE: FOR YOUTH, BY YOUTH : PSI

Posted
May 24, 2021
With more than 1 billion youth—people between the ages of 15 and 24— around the world, the obstacles that they face while accessing health services are great. Limited educational resources and a lack of access to digital health content make gaining knowledge about their healthcare options challenging. And even when young people can access care, factors such as provider bias may limit their ability to receive high quality, relevant care.
Radical changes must be made for young people to benefit fully from healthcare systems.
In order to shift the health system to better meet the needs of young people and reach a world where each of them has access to care, we can’t afford to ignore youth voices. Ensuring that youth are equipped with proper knowledge and resources about self-care opportunities will require young leaders at the table, providing their expertise and voicing their needs in the conversation on how best to implement self-care, while holding the system accountable to these needs.
