This training is intended for Youth Prevention (YP) providers who are approved by Texas HHSC to implement Blues Program curriculum.
The Blues Program is a group-based prevention program for 4-8 teens in grades 8th-12th (aged 14-19) with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Students learn cognitive behavioral strategies with a simple focus: change how you think and what you do to feel better. A master Blues Program Trainer of Trainers (TOT) provides training and consultation on initial delivery of the Blues Program. Program effectiveness is directly related to the class being conducted in the manner it was intended. To properly lead the course, trainers must complete the training and earn certification in presenting the class.
