Making Friends With Yourself: a Depression Prevention Program for Adolescents
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MFY and HLG for Depression Mild and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 77 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The rate of depression increases markedly over the course of adolescence. Adolescents struggling with depression are often set on a maladaptive behavior trajectory which may lead to academic challenges, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, impairment in relationship building, and suicidality. The S.M.A.R.T Project (Stress Management and Resilience Training for Teens) is designed to learn about mood in teens, and whether emotional well-being can be improved with an 8 week class. The study proposes to refine and test the feasibility of a mindfulness-based self-compassion training program for adolescents who are experiencing subsyndromal depression, comparing it with a "healthy lifestyles" group program as a comparison attention-control for the treatment intervention. Secondarily, the study will explore the impact of these programs on measures of psychopathology and well-being (i.e. depressive symptoms and resilience).
