Target Population: Adolescents ages 12 to 18 years old with major depression and/or dysthymia
Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Coping with Depression for Adolescents (CWDA) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Depression Treatment (Child & Adolescent). CWDA is a group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program for depressed adolescents ages 12 to 18. The intervention focuses on self-monitoring one’s mood, increasing pleasant activities, decreasing anxiety, and decreasing cognitions that foster depression. It also addresses interpersonal factors such as social skills, improving communications, and conflict resolution. A parallel course allows parents to address the same interpersonal issues. Since CWDA is highly rated on the Scientific Rating Scale, information on available pre-implementation assessments, implementation tools, and fidelity measures was requested from the program representative. Please see the program's separate Implementation Information page for details.
