Abstract:

This article focuses on two ongoing school-based projects designed to address youth depression. Both projects employ adaptations of the Primary and Secondary Control Enhancement Training (PASCET) model (Weisz et al., 1997), which teaches coping skills targeting cognitive and behavioral deficits found among depressed youth.
