The purpose of this pilot study is to test the effectiveness of French adaptation of the Blues program, a school-based indicated depression prevention intervention. The program will be delivered by the endogenous psycho-social staff of 3 Montreal secondary schools to adolescents with sub-clinical depressive symptoms and compared to a no-intervention (Informational Brochure only) control condition, designed to represent the "usual intervention" in these schools.
