SES Children (SES Mini/SES Nxt) - A Digital Intervention for Children of Divorce

Summary

The overall aim of the SES Children (SES Mini/SES Nxt) - A Digital Intervention for Children of Divorce project is to develop the digital online intervention "SES Children (SES Mini \& SES Nxt)", and test whether it reduces well-known negative consequences of divorce and major life crises among children and adolescents by employing a longitudinal RCT study design. SES Children (SES Mini \& SES Nxt) is a digital intervention platform that seeks to develop the self-efficacy and ability of children to overcome the challenges that may come with a divorce and major life crises, thereby reducing the negative impacts of these on children's overall mental health and wellbeing. SES Children (SES Mini \& SES Nxt) is a first of its kind and differs from existing interventions aimed at children in four crucial ways: 1) by being a comprehensive online intervention accessible via PC, smartphone, and tablet; 2) by being research-based and developed with the ambition of later scientific testing of its effect; 3) by offering early intervention to all children who experience parental divorce - not just children experiencing problems or conflicts in connection with parental divorce or who belong to certain age groups, and; 4) through its format and design, the intervention is adaptive to the individual child's needs and age and focuses on establishing real and lasting self-efficacy and behavioral change rather than only being informative and psycho-educational. Thus, unique to the solution are also unique methodological advances and knowledge related to digital interventions for children.

SES Children (SES Mini & SES Nxt)

SES Children (SES Mini \& SES Nxt) is a digital intervention aiming to develop children's self-efficacy and ability to overcome the challenges that come with a divorce and major life crises, thereby reducing the negative impacts of these on children's overall mental health and wellbeing. The intervention formatted to specific age groups between the ages of 3 and 17, and is relevant to all children whose parents have split up, regardless of whether they experience a higher or lower degree of conflict between the parents, a or higher or lower degree of strain from the judicial divorce. The intervention covers a variety of topics, including "when my parents fight", "a bonus family", "packing the overnight bag", "to live in two places", and "children's rights".
