Findings suggest increasing untreated mental health burden among Malawi's youth. It highlights great need to address mental health literacy using existing community structures like educational settings to minimise burden on a weak health system.

This CE approach has grown our stakeholder network, strengthening potential for future CE activities and broader research dissemination.
