Most psychological conditions start developing during adolescent years. This makes adolescence an ideal and critical window for prevention efforts that help enhance stress management and mental health among the younger generations. This pilot study aims to develop a brief prevention program that focuses on youths' well-being and living as guided by their personal values.
