Interventions/Control_1

The T-RESIST intervention will be delivered in groups, consisting of four active sessions plus two evaluation sessions (pre-test and post-test), each lasting 50 minutes. The sessions will focus on strategies to recognize and cope with peer pressure, enhance self-esteem to resist peer influence, reduce emotional dependence on friendships, and develop social skills to avoid yielding to pressure for the sake of group acceptance. At the end of the sessions, evaluations will be conducted through games, activities, and group logs.
