3. Testing the Program

Third, we conducted a pilot trial of LYRIC with 70 young people participating across WA. LYRIC-trained facilitators delivered sessions to young people through headspace and youth community centres. Young people who were living remotely or unable to attend these centres were provided with an online version of LYRIC. We found promising results, with improvements in young people’s psychological distress from before LYRIC, right after and 6-weeks later.
