Description
School-based therapy has grown in prevalence over recent years in an effort to increase access to children who may be challenged in paying for private mental health services. This research proposal hypothesizes that children’s externalizing and internalizing symptoms will improve with therapy conducted in school and outpatient settings, but that the effect will be higher in outpatient settings. For our proposal, each participant will receive five psychotherapy sessions and complete a Youth Self-Report assessment pre- and post-test to measure therapy effect. Comparative analysis of the outcomes between the school and outpatient groups will be conducted and results interpreted.
