Adolescents and young adults receiving child welfare services constitute a vulnerable population, with an overrepresentation of mental health issues and past trauma, often exacerbated by a difficult transition to independence. Current support focuses mainly on material needs, lacking specific interventions targeting psychological resilience. This study draws on literature demonstrating that the development of emotional skills and post-traumatic growth are major protective factors promoting psychosocial adaptation and mental health.

| post-traumatic growth | Score assessed by Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) This 21-item questionnaire measures perceived positive psychological changes following adversity. It covers five dimensions: relationships with others, personal strength, new possibilities, spiritual changes, and appreciation of life. The score is calculated by adding up the scores for the 21 items (rated from 0 = no change to 5 = very significant change), giving a total score between 0 and 105. Subscale scores can also be obtained by adding up the items corresponding to each of the five dimensions. A low score indicates little perceived positive change after the event, a moderate score indicates partial growth, and a high score indicates significant positive psychological transformation. | Baseline and 6 months |

| mobile app | Other | Mobile app promoting mental health for teens aged 14 to 17. It is a gamified, self-guided 6-week digital program (about 1 hour per week), incorporating techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and lifestyle medicine. The game offers a narrative journey through an imaginary world consisting of six islands, each corresponding to a health and well-being theme: physical activity, stress management, sleep, addictive behaviors, emotional regulation, automatic thoughts, and self-compassion. Side quests also address balanced eating and the integration of positive psychology practices into everyday life. The player takes on the role of a hero accompanied by their guide, tasked with restoring the vital balance of the islands threatened by pollution and destruction. The player must clean up the islands, recycle waste into seeds, regenerate nature, and interact with totem animals, which impart psychoeducational lessons related to mental health. |

| Psychological distress | Psychological distress will be measured using the French version of the Kessler Brief Symptom Inventory (K6). This 6-item self-report questionnaire assesses the frequency of nonspecific emotional distress symptoms (e.g., feeling "nervous" or "despairing") over the past 30 days. Responses are given on a 5-point scale indicating frequency (from "Never" to "All the time"). To calculate the score, responses are rated from 0 to 4, generating a total score ranging from 0 to 24, where a higher score indicates greater distress. | Baseline, 1 week before intervention and 6 months |
| executive functions | The Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions is a self-assessment questionnaire for executive functions. It comprises 75 items assessing 9 areas of executive functions. The total score is expressed as a T-score (mean 50, standard deviation 10) and reflects the overall level of executive functioning, with a T-score ≥ 65 indicating significant difficulties, T 60-64 indicating a borderline area, and T < 60 indicating average executive functioning. | Baseline, 1 week before intervention and 6 months |
| Attention | The Attention Assessment Tests score is summarized by standardized scores or percentiles for each domain (sustained, divided, selective attention, and motor inhibition), reflecting overall attentional performance, where high scores indicate adequate attention and executive control, and low scores reveal specific difficulties in one or more aspects of attention. | Baseline, 1 week before intervention and 6 months |
| working memory | The ARITHMETIC and NUMBER MEMORY subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale can be used to assess working memory. The Working Memory Index, based on the Arithmetic and Number Memory subtests, is expressed as a standard score (mean 100, standard deviation 15 for the overall index, or 10/3 for the subtests) and reflects working memory capacity, where a low score indicates difficulties in maintaining and manipulating information, an average score indicates expected functioning, and a high score indicates above-average working memory. | Baseline, 1 week before intervention and 6 months |
