Abstract

We aim to reduce the mental health impacts of COVID-19 and risk of longer-term adolescent mental health problems by enhancing their parents' ability to support them through this pandemic. We will involve parents in a co-designed process that learns and responds to their changing needs; to dynamically adapt an evidence-based parenting program integrated with an online peer-support network for parents. Our research will empower parents in their capacity to support their adolescents' mental health.
