Active substance: Mindfulness and Art Therapy Group Program (MATG-P)
What this could lead to: If effective, this program could offer a supportive, non-drug way to help teens who have experienced abuse feel better about their bodies and reduce shame.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all teens. The program requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
