• Our collaboration with the Office of Social and Emotional Learning in Chicago Public Schools continues into its 9th year. We have trained 565 school-based providers (social workers, counselors, and psychologists) and graduate student interns across 225 schools. They were trained in Act & Adapt, a coping skills program to help youth combat stress and improve their mental health, including reducing their depression symptoms. Within these schools, there has been 690 Act & Adapt groups made up of over 3,800 students enrolled in the program throughout the last 9 years. For more information about this intervention and our partnerships, please go to www.actanadapt.com.
