Resilience Training for Teens for Mental Illness Risk

This study is testing a new group program called Resilience Training for Teens. It's designed for high school students aged 14-19 who have mild symptoms of depression, anxiety, or unusual feelings, and are at risk for developing a serious mental illness. The goal is to see if this 6-session program can help protect them from developing these conditions. We'll measure its success by looking at changes in psychosis-risk symptoms (unusual thoughts or experiences) after one year. The study is currently unclear about its status and plans to enroll 70 participants.
