Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: The BEAM program groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The BEAM Program is delivered via mobile application and weekly group telehealth sessions. BEAM includes approximately 20 minutes of weekly asynchronous video modules on parenting and mental health. Mental Health videos will provide information and emotion-regulation strategies that draw from the Unified Protocol, an evidence-based treatment for depression and anxiety disorders. Self-compassion and effective communication will also be central focuses of the mental health content. Supportive parenting videos will provide parents with emotion-focused parenting strategies and help parents understand and respond to their children's challenging emotions and behaviours. The weekly group telehealth sessions will allow participants to discuss content and ask questions, with the purpose of increasing a sense of community and social support. The online community forum will provide a space for participants to reflect on their learned skills and connect with other participants in the program.

Group II: Treatment as usual groupActive Control1 Intervention

The treatment as usual (TAU) control arm of the study is designed to account for the potential effects of time on depression symptoms.
