“…The GAD‐7 is a 7‐question scale measuring symptoms over the past 2 weeks from not at all (0) to nearly every day (3) rating severity; >5 is mild, 10–14 is moderate, and ≥15 indicates severe anxiety (Spitzer et al, 2006). Both instruments (Doumit et al, 2018; Erlich et al, 2019) have been utilized to study the impact of COPE. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to describe and analyze the data using IBM SPSS software.…”

Problem Major depressive episodes in adolescent females have increased during the past decade, placing them at risk to engage in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, unsafe thoughts, suicidal ideation, and lethal actions. Mindfulness, a tool for stress management, is underutilized. Methods Mindful BALANCE (Breathe Act Learn About ‘Now’ Care Everyday), a group therapy pilot program introduced a variety of mindfulness activities. The extended mindfulness followed the Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (COPE), a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills Building (CBSB) Healthy Lifestyle program. The pilot program was offered in an outpatient mental health department for 7 weeks. Findings Mindful BALANCE is a feasible program as an adjunct to individualized psychotherapy. Six subjects engaged without absence with a completion rate of 83%. Six subjects had pre‐ and post‐scores for depression and anxiety decrease. Mindfulness practice was reported to decrease the perception of stress. Conclusion Mindful BALANCE decreased perceived depression and anxiety symptoms while positively impacting healthy activities in adolescent females. Further research is necessary to readdress feasibility and extended mindfulness components in improving global well‐being and diminishing suicide risk.

“…This CBT-based program was proposed to effectively treat anxiety and depression in adolescents. Findings from several research studies suggested that anxiety and depression scores decreasedsignificantly in some instances-after participation in COPE at postintervention and follow-up in either 4 weeks or 3 months (Carr & Stewart, 2019;Erlich et al, 2019;Melnyk et al, 2014). In an integrative review, Kendall and Peterman (2015) reported evidence consistent with available research evidence, including clinical improvement using CBT; flexibility of CBT for a tailored delivery approach; and alternative formats such as individual, school-based, and computer-delivered.…”

Problem Anxiety and depression are prevalent in the adolescent population and can have significant consequences. Treatment recommendations are established but rates of utilization remain low, often due to a lack of access to mental health providers. Availability of mental health services in a school‐based setting may increase access, but homeschooled children do not have access to these services. Additionally, the COVID‐19 pandemic has increased the number of homeschooled children and compounded the problem of adolescent mental health disorders. Methods This pilot evidence‐based practice project aimed to increase access to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in adolescents. Eight students from a local homeschool cooperative participated in the Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (COPE) program. A Friedman test was used to evaluate median differences on anxiety and depression screening instruments at baseline, program completion, and 1 month after the program. Students also completed an adapted COPE program evaluation. Results Median scores on screening instruments decreased from pre‐COPE to 1 month after, although results were not statistically significant. Students reported that the COPE program was helpful, and they learned new ways to deal with their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Conclusion COPE is a feasible option to increase access to CBT in a homeschool setting.
