Summary

This study tests a group program to help teens (ages 13-17.5) with Prader-Willi Syndrome and their families learn practical ways to handle irritability, meltdowns, and anxiety. Ten participants will attend weekly 90-minute sessions. The goal is to see if the program improves emotional control and is well-liked by families.
