STEP-UP is a new treatment study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. In this study, we are developing and testing a video-based, behavioral treatment program to help anxiety, depression, and stress in kids.
A face-to-face version of the STEP-UP program worked very well and was featured by the National Institutes of Health as a model program for bringing behavioral health services to primary care (read the NIH Science Update here!).
In this study, we are making STEP-UP available to more youth by using real-time video visits instead of face-to-face meetings. We want to make the program easy to implement in busy clinics and easy to use by busy families!
How can we help?
This program has been shown to help kids and teens who…
- Are nervous, worried, or anxious much of the time.
- Struggle with shyness or have a hard time making friends or engaging in school.
- Avoid important activities because they are too upset or because the activities don’t seem fun anymore.
- Frequently feel sad, irritable, or down.
- Suffer from lots of headaches, stomach aches, or say they feel overly tired.
