Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE)

Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) is an evidence-based group psychological intervention to support 10–15-year-olds facing internalizing problems (such as stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms) in communities affected by adversity. The intervention comprises seven group sessions for adolescents, along with three additional group sessions tailored for their caregivers, and aims to equip adolescents and their caregivers with skills to alleviate distress. Drawing from adapted elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EASE is designed for delivery by trained and supervised non-specialist helpers.
