Interpersonal Psychotherapy - Adolescent Skills Training

Interpersonal Psychotherapy - Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) is a manualized program delivered by mental health clinicians at school. The program aims to decrease depressive symptoms by helping adolescents improve their relationships and interpersonal interactions. The group teaches adolescents communication strategies and interpersonal problem-solving skills that they can apply to their relationships. The program includes two individual pre-group sessions followed by eight group sessions with 3-7 adolescents per group. It may also include a mid-program session that parents are allowed to attend and four individual booster sessions in the months following the group sessions.
