First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a group social work program based on emotion-focused therapy can improve emotion regulation, emotional intelligence, and empathy in children aged 9-11 who live in a children's home. About 38 children will take part, with some receiving the therapy and others not. The goal is to see if the therapy helps these kids better understand and manage their feelings.
