What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to address the decline in mental health among adolescents by implementing a structured intervention that focuses on discovering and developing personal talents. Utilizing a virtual reality platform called Explore Your Meanings (EYME), participants will explore their identity and construct a life project that aligns with their ideal self. The intervention combines humanistic integrative psychotherapy with identity exploration and vocational guidance through the Geniotype test. The effectiveness of this approach will be evaluated using established psychological scales to measure life satisfaction and mental health outcomes.
