Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Multi-component Well-being Intervention

The intervention asks participants to complete exercises based on three different skills. These skills include cognitive restructuring, gratitude and behavioral activation. After completing the program, participants will pick their favorite exercise to complete on a weekly basis for homework. In order to increase compliance with the homework, participants will complete a short plan in which they will identify when, where and with who they will complete the homework. The whole intervention takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.

BEHAVIORAL

Study Skills

Participants are taught three different study skills/strategies. They are asked to make a plan to continue using these strategies after completing the intervention. The whole intervention takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.
