Brief Summary
|
The study is a quasi experimental research designed to evaluate the impact of Life Skills Training on impulse control, self esteem and mental well being of high school students in selected schools of Delhi. The target population consists of students aged between 12 to 15 years. The intervention consists of four structured sessions focusing on stress management, emotional regulation, self esteem and resilience. Standardized tools including Barratt Impulsiveness Scale BIS 11 Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale RSES, and Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well Being Scale WEMWBS will be used for data collection. Measurements will be taken before the intervention and immediately after completion of the sessions. The study aims to determine whether Life Skills Training enhances impulse control, improves self-esteem, and promotes better mental well-being among adolescents. The findings are expected to provide evidence for integrating structured Life Skills Training into school-based mental health programs, thereby contributing to the holistic development and psychological resilience of students during adolescence. |
