Indicated Prevention Transdiagnostic Intervention for Adolescents At High Risk of Emotional Problems

This intervention is meant to respond to the heterogeneity inherent in emotional difficulties presentation by extinguishing distress associated with the presentation of heightened negative emotion in general and reduction or elimination of resultant emotionally-driven behaviours, including avoidance, escape, aggression, and controlling behaviours (e.g., reassurance seeking) that reinforce emotional distress intensity over time.

Psychoeducation about many different emotions, emphasis on discussing thoughts, feelings, and behavior as parts of emotion, and emphasis on providing support around generally distressing events.
