Family-Focused Adolescent &Amp; Lifelong Health Promotion Optimization Trial

The PLH program is the core intervention and will be delivered over 6 sessions with adolescents and caregivers, focusing on building positive parent-child relationships, problem-solving skills, stress management, effective limit-setting, and emotional regulation. There will also be a pre-program visit with the facilitator and families prior to the group sessions. Sessions will include both separate and joint activities between adolescents and caregivers. Engagement boosters will be provided during the PLH sessions and are part of the PLH intervention.

UNICEF's Helping Adolescents Thrive (HAT) comics will be used to guide adolescents through content on improving relationships, handling conflict, understanding emotions, and problem solving. These sessions will be group-based and cover the content in the HAT manual with the adolescents in an interactive format.

"An adapted version of UNICEF's I Support My Friends program will be provided to adolescents by a facilitator in a group-based workshop format over the course of 1 day."
