Summary

This study tests a multi-sensory therapy called Heal, which uses calming sounds, gentle vibrations, and soft lighting to help detained youth (ages 12-18) manage their emotions before counseling sessions. The goal is to see if this brief, non-verbal intervention improves emotional regulation, strengthens the bond with their therapist, and boosts mental health. Only 12 participants will be enrolled, making this a very early-stage trial.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Multi-sensory emotional regulation intervention (Heal) - a brief, non-verbal behavioral therapy using calming sound, music, low-intensity vibrations, and soft ambient lighting delivered in a distraction-free booth.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-verbal tool to help detained youth calm down before therapy sessions, potentially improving their emotional control and engagement in treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to all youth. The intervention is brief and may not produce lasting changes in emotional regulation.
