Professor JR Weisz from Harvard University said: "Children displaced by conflict are at elevated risk of long-term psychological harm, but access to mental health services is often limited or non-existent. In our trial we found the effects of our 30-minute intervention lasted for four months."

The results, published today in The Lancet Primary Care, found that this brief mental health intervention reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in displaced young people at one month and four months after the 30-minute intervention.

They created a Ukrainian-language version of an evidence-based digital mental health intervention called Project SOLVE. Delivered in schools through mobile devices, it teaches problem solving by providing strategies for solving everyday problems, such as school stress and interpersonal conflict.
