This study aims to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of two preventative intervention approaches designed to support middle school youth.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Positive Thoughts and Actions Program

Students in the skills group will attend a 12-session (50 minutes each), 12-week program with 4-6 other students. The skills group will take place at school during school hours. Parents in the skill group will be asked to participate in two parent group workshops to take place at their child's school or other participating middle school (2-hours each). In addition, the skill group leader will conduct two individual family meetings with the student and parent(50 minutes each).

BEHAVIORAL

Individual Support Program

Students will be individually interviewed (60-90 minutes) at school to review areas of stress and support. The health professional conducting the interview will reinforce the student's strengths, and provide connections to sources of help from caring adults at home and at school. Parents will be called following the assessment to help the family locate appropriate resources if needed (e.g., tutoring resources, school counselor).
