Brief summary
High school students from a Sydney school will be recruited to participate in the study. Students will be randomly allocated to either control or intervention condition. The intervention group will receive 10 hours of the intervention over a school term. The intervention is a Dialectical Behaviour Skills Group, which includes training of skills in 4 domains: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. A large volume of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of these skills in improving emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships, and wellbeing. It is expected that this evaluation will demonstrate an improvement of wellbeing and decrease in psychopathology symptoms in the intervention group compared to control participants.
