'There's no helpline': how mental health services can support young people with climate distress.
Article in Cogent mental health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Climate distress in young people is very likely to increase in coming years, and young people's mental health services need to be prepared to meet the demand. This paper reports a qualitative pilot study to establish the views of three stakeholder groups involved in youth mental health counselling services in England: young people, mental health counsellors, and strategic partners. We find broad agreement amongst youth mental health service users and providers that climate distress comprises a range of emotional responses to climate change, including anxiety, hopelessness, isolation, guilt and injustice, exacerbated by developmental, social and informational contexts. Service providers can support young people by surfacing, validating, and channelling these emotional responses, but they themselves need training and support to do this effectively.
