Brief Summary

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

The objective of the investigators' mental health promotion intervention premised on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework in secondary school settings aims to enhance young people's psychological flexibility and reduce their emotional distress. ACT is an evidence-based approach that encourages individuals to act in alignment with their identified values. The investigator's team will employ an ACT protocol for adolescents developed by Louise Hayes and Joseph Ciarrochi. The study includes a single-group study design. The investigator will compare the pre- and post-intervention data to assess the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the group intervention.
