START NOW Adapted: Culturally adapted version of START NOW
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
Young people with refugee experience have faced several difficult situations, crises, and stress in their lives. Unfortunately, there are also barriers to accessing health services. To provide an easily accessible training, we have culturally adapted the START NOW training. With this training, young people can train their resilience, i.e., their psychological resistance. Resilient individuals cope better with difficult situations and remain mentally healthy for longer. The aim is to find out in a randomized study plan with a treatment condition and a waiting group whether START NOW in the culturally adapted version is effective.

Malattie studiate
Adolescents who have good resilience experience fewer psychological difficulties; they can better cope with stress and challenges. Promoting resilience is therefore a central approach to fostering healthy psychological development. START NOW is a skills training for adolescents aged 12 and older to promote resilience and improve stress and emotion regulation (www.istartnow.ch). START NOW Adapted is a culturally adapted version of this.
