Summary

This study tests a 16-week cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program called the C.A.T Project for Pakistani teenagers aged 14 to 17 with moderate to severe anxiety. The program helps teens change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors using relaxation, problem-solving, and parent education. 50 participants will be split into two groups to see if the therapy reduces anxiety and improves school performance and well-being. The goal is to find a practical, school-based treatment for anxiety in Pakistan.
