ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a program called the Brief Intervention for School Clinicians (BRISC), which aims to improve mental health support for students in schools. The program is designed for students experiencing issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma, and it includes four sessions that help students engage, receive treatment, and get the support they need. The goal is to see if BRISC works better than typical school mental health services by measuring how well students participate and complete the program, as well as how they feel about their problems.

To participate in this trial, clinicians must be school-based counselors who have not previously been trained in BRISC and are not currently using another mental health program. Students who can join must be in grades 9-12, at least 13 years old, and receiving mental health services at school. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve mental health care in schools by ensuring that effective strategies like BRISC are properly implemented. Participants can expect to be part of a program that seeks to enhance mental health support for students, ultimately helping them to feel better and succeed in their academic and personal lives.
