We will also gather preliminary data to explore changes in clinical metrics following participation in MyFILM in preparation for a full-scale clinical trial.
Primary Objective (Feasibility): To determine whether a substantial proportion of participants complete the MyFILM intervention.
Primary Objective (Acceptability): To determine whether the MyFILM intervention is acceptable to 9-12-year-old participants in a clinical setting.
Secondary Objective (Clinical Effectiveness): To determine whether participation in MyFILM show preliminary evidence of improvement in social-emotional skills, coping ability, and reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms.
