Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
SERIOUS Intervention
All youth will be juveniles in a residential facility for post-adjudicated youth. They will be recruited into the study as they are being placed in the facility post-adjudication, to ensure that they meet criteria and will be in the facility long enough to complete the program. All qualified youth will be invited to participate in the SERIOUS intervention; once a group of youth are recruited to complete the multiple baseline design and interventionists are free (from running interventions with other participants) to work with the youth, an intervention cycle will begin.
