Funded Activity Summary

Adolescence is a challenging time and depression may develop due to the stress of school work, parental expectations, peer pressure, or family conflict. The Resourceful Adolescent Program (RAP) teaches coping strategies to build self-esteem and deal with stress. Good peer relationships also protect youths from depression: The RAP-PIR project teaches adolescents additional social skills, strategies for managing bullying, and friendship skills. We expect RAP-PIR will help prevent youth depression.
