abstract="There is little research reporting the &quot;lived experience&quot; of young people undertaking treatment for mental health conditions. This pilot study explores the phenomenological experiences of a small group of six young people aged 14-18 years who were resident of a youth stepped-care mental health program in the Australian Capital Territory. Using semi-structured interviews, data were collected and two main themes emerged: (a) &quot;Life engagement&quot; and (b) &quot;Relationships.&quot; Participants also provided responses on self-report measures at baseline and follow-up and feedback on aspects of the program. Further research is suggested to build on this study to increase research outcomes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
