Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- parent/caregiver of an adolescent aged 13-18 years
- the adolescent is referred for outpatient services at CAMH
- adolescent has significant depressive symptoms, having either: a) a self-reported score of 23 or higher on the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire; or b) a depression diagnosis based on the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia from the last 3 months
- parent or youth endorse problematic levels of conflict in their relationship, having either: a) a total score of 9 or greater on the adolescent version, or a total score of 11 or greater on the parent version, of the 20-item Conflict Behavior Questionnaire; or b) a rating of 2 or higher on item 2 or 3 (Item 2 "getting along with your mother/mother figure;" item 3 "getting along with your father/father figure") of the youth-report version of the Columbia Impairment Scale
- both parent and adolescent speak, read, and write English at a Grade 6 level or above
Exclusion
- the adolescent's primary diagnosis is not depression, based on information in their health record
- the adolescent has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (I or II), schizophrenia, moderate-severe eating disorder, moderate-severe substance use disorder, or an intellectual disability (as the clinical and family needs of these adolescents are not likely to be sufficiently addressed by a general group for parents of adolescents with depression), or requires immediate hospitalization for suicide risk
- the parent/caregiver does not consent to participate
- (specific only to the virtual format of the study) the parent is not comfortable communicating via email or using WebEx for virtual appointments (as the use of WebEx and email is required for study visits and for participation in the parent intervention)
