This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a program called Resilience Training for Teens, a brief group-based class that teaches high school students practical skills to build mental strength and prevent serious mental illness. The researchers want to see whether this 6-session program can help teens who are experiencing early signs of depression, anxiety, or unusual thoughts stay mentally healthier over time.
Many teens show early warning signs of mental health problems but don't yet have a full diagnosis. This study exists to test whether teaching coping skills early can actually prevent these conditions from developing into something more serious.

If you join the active group, you'll attend 6 group sessions where you'll learn coping and resilience skills alongside other teens. Your parent or guardian will attend at least one session. Some participants will be placed on a waitlist for one year and can start the program after that year ends. The study tracks how you're doing over time to see whether the program helps prevent mental health problems from developing.
