A new report by WHO/Europe and the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study has revealed alarming declines in social support for adolescents across Europe, central Asia and Canada. The findings are stark: only 68% of adolescents report high levels of family support, a significant drop compared to the previous survey in 2018, while school pressure has increased sharply, particularly for adolescent girls. These trends are affecting the mental health and well-being of millions of young people, particularly older adolescents and those from less well-off families.
