Study Summary

What is being tested?
This study tests the U-PEACE program aimed at supporting adolescents facing emotional and academic difficulties. Students will either receive this new intervention (U-PEACE) or stick to standard support (SAU), to see which helps more with their challenges.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since U-PEACE is a psychological support program rather than a medication, it may not have typical 'side effects'. However, participants might experience discomfort discussing personal issues or feel increased awareness of their emotions during the process.
