Online Interventions
Adolescence   is a time of trials and  tribulations. Teens are dealing with the   formation of self and  identifying who they are in the world. They are   also experiencing  biological changes that create mood swings and at   times emotional  outbursts. Interventions for this group can be   challenging, as  adolescents often avoid asking for assistance. This   avoidance is due  to their desire to look normal and fit in. Online   interventions might  be one way to reach adolescents who need help. 
For   this Discussion, choose a concern that  adolescents face, such as   depression, suicide, self-esteem, eating  disorders, substance abuse, or   family dynamics and family conflict.  Conduct research to find an online   intervention that addresses this  concern.  
By Day 3
Post a description of an  Internet-based   intervention used with adolescents to address the  concern you   identified. Describe the intervention and the underlying  theory.   Identify the target behaviors that this intervention is used  to address.   Finally, describe the strengths and weaknesses of the  intervention.
identified a different internet-based   intervention and  provide feedback and/or expand on their post in some   way.
