DESCRIPTION:Adolescents involved in Youth Protection Services (YPS) are at 
 high risk of substance use and mental health problems. However\, there is 
 an enormous gap between the needs and availability of trauma-informed subs
 tance use early intervention programmes in YPS. This study aimed to adapt 
 an evidence-based personality-targeted intervention program for needs of a
 dolescents in YPS by examining the feasibility and proof-of-concept of imp
 lementing these interventions for reducing the risk of substance use and m
 ental health problems. Adolescents were recruited from the Batshaw Youth a
 nd Family Centres (N = 62\, 52% females\, Mean age= 16.07) and invited to 
 receive two group-based intervention sessions targeting their dominant per
 sonality profile: Anxiety Sensitivity\, Hopelessness\, Impulsivity\, or Se
 nsation Seeking. Adolescents were assessed before and then three months af
 ter receiving interventions. This presentation will report on the steps fo
 r adapting these interventions for victimised youth and preliminary result
 s on the feasibility and proof-of-concept of implementing these interventi
 ons to improve youth outcomes experiencing transitions in YPS.\n\nBring yo
 ur lunch. Cookies & coffee will be served. Everyone is welcome to attend!
