Request for Participation: Contribute to Research Shaping Youth Mental Health Support

A new opportunity is available to support teens experiencing stress, low mood, or other emotional challenges. BALANCE Study is a youth mental health research opportunity designed to help teens ages 14–19 better manage difficult emotions and build emotional well-being. Participants can receive access to peer counseling support and a new digital mental health app, use a MUSE headband to track sleep, and complete surveys and brief health measures over a 16-week period. The study especially encourages participation from racially diverse and underserved youth and offers compensation for all activities, with participants keeping the MUSE headband.
