Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An announcement will be made on Whatsapp and Instagram social media accounts for the young people who will participate in the research, and preliminary evaluations will be taken from the young people who have stated that they want to participate via e-mail and who meet the working criteria, and randomization will be provided with a computer program. A 10-week coping skills training will be given to the training group from the randomly allocated groups. The control group will be informed about their coping skills for 1 week. Both groups will receive a final evaluation 10 weeks later and a follow-up evaluation 1 month after the last evaluation.

In all sessions, reflections prepared with the power point program will be used. In the sessions, question-answer method, audio-visual (audio-visual) method, role-playing and performance feedback phases will be used when necessary. In addition to knowledge, experiences in education will also be emphasized and it will be possible to make comparisons with the subject learned in education.
