The Coping and Regulation of Environmental Stress (CaRES) Lab within the Psychology Department is seeking several part-time remote judges for a children's speech task during a large randomized controlled trial investigating coping trajectories of youth. The Building a Strong Identity and Coping Skills (BaSICS) project will work towards confirming the effectiveness of the BaSICS intervention program in treating and preventing mental health problems in young adolescents from low income households and to evaluate its potential to mitigate the youth mental health crisis by offering group-based services to youth assigned to waitlists at treatment facilities.
