In a randomised trial at schools in England, students who took part in a cognitive behavioural therapy course saw small improvements in depression symptom scores

A one-day school workshop based on cognitive behavioural therapy led to small improvements in teenagers’ mood and stress levels for at least six months, a trial has found.

CBT also has the most supporting evidence from randomised trials involving adults with depression, anxiety or other mental health problems. Participants usually see a therapist for 1 hour a week for two or three months. After the workshops, the pupils were allowed up to three further phone calls with the therapists for support.
