This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two different community-based programs can help children who've been through the COVID-19 pandemic and major hurricanes stay emotionally healthy. The study will compare a program called Journey of Hope (adapted for COVID-19) with another program called Switch Off Get Active, to see which one best helps kids in disadvantaged neighborhoods manage stress and build coping skills.
Many children in low-income communities and communities of color have experienced both the pandemic and devastating hurricanes, putting them at high risk for anxiety and behavioral problems. This trial exists because most available mental health programs treat problems after they develop rather than preventing them, and they're often hard to access for families who need them most.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to receive one of two programs—either Journey of Hope or Switch Off Get Active. Both programs include activities and lessons designed to help you manage stress, build coping skills, and feel more supported. You'll likely participate in group sessions at your school or in your community, and researchers will check in with you and your family at different times to see how you're doing emotionally.
