Brief description Adolescence is a period of rapid physical, emotional and social growth. Many young people lack the socio-emotional skills to negotiate the transition thorough adolescence, and are at risk of disengaging from education, family and community. This is the first clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of a telephone delivered intervention for increasing social engagement, emotional health and well-being of disengaged rural and urban youth.
