This study is testing a new way to bring mental health support to high school students in rural areas. College students, trained by licensed psychologists, will teach cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)—a proven talk-therapy approach—directly to high school students who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or stress. The goal is to make mental health care easier to access in communities where it's hard to find therapists.
Many rural teenagers suffer from depression and anxiety but can't get help because there aren't enough mental health providers in their area, therapy is too expensive, or families don't have good information about mental health care. This trial tests whether using trained college students as therapists could solve that problem and bring mental health support into schools where students already are.

You would attend sessions at your high school where a trained college student would teach you therapy techniques to help manage depression, anxiety, or stress. The study involves two phases: first, the researchers will develop and refine the program based on feedback from students and parents, then test how well it works. You would participate in sessions, complete questionnaires about how you're feeling, and possibly share your thoughts about the program to help improve it.
