Summary

This trial tests a school-based program called HENKA, designed to promote emotional well-being and prevent mental health problems in adolescents aged 12 to 16. The program includes eight classroom sessions on skills like self-esteem, emotional regulation, and mindfulness, taught by trained teachers with support from health professionals. Researchers will compare students in schools using the program with those in control schools, measuring changes in resilience among teens, their families, and school staff. The goal is to see if building resilience can help prevent mental health issues in young people.
