Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Young people aged 11\-17 years. Participants will be accepted up to their 17th birthday and on the birthday itself, but not beyond
  • 2\. Young people must have been recently accepted into specialist CAMH (\=4 weeks)
  • 3\. Young people must score \=27 on the Moods and Feelings Questionnaire (this is the standardised cut\-off by which elevated symptoms of depression warrant further assessment and potential intervention)
  • 4\. Young people must provide consent, or assent along with their carer’s consent (if applicable), to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Young people with severe mental illness which is not primarily depressive and requires a different treatment pathway (schizophrenia/non\-depressive psychosis, current mania, anorexia, drug and alcohol addiction)
  • 2\. Young people who cannot speak English to a sufficient level to understand the intervention and research materials
  • 3\. Young people who have an intellectual disability of a level which prevents adequate understanding of the study or intervention materials (clinical judgement)
  • 4\. Young people at a high risk of imminent suicide and therefore need a different pathway of care and support (clinical judgement)
  • 5\. Young people who present with a high frequency of severe self\-harm and therefore need a different pathway of care and support (clinical judgement)
  • 6\. Young people who have received 8 sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy (or BA) in the past 6 months
  • 7\. If there is more than one eligible child in the family, only one child will be consented into the study and randomised and the same randomised treatment will be offered to the sibling\*
  • \*This is applicable to a young person who has a sibling already consented into the study (regardless of whether the sibling is being actively followed up), and if two or more siblings are assessed and accepted into CAMHS at the same time
