PRISM for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

PRISM was developed based on stress and coping theory to be a brief, disease non-specific, skills-based intervention targeting adolescent resilience resources. PRISM teaches 4 pillars of resilience including stress management, goal setting, cognitive restructuring and benefit-finding in a one-on-one training program consisting of two, 45-60 minute sessions and supported by 6-months of booster sessions and a fully developed digital app for practice and tracking. A family session follows the individual sessions and was designed for the adolescent to communicate to his/her caregiver(s) the skills learned, and how the caregiver(s) could best support ongoing practice.
