Brief Summary: Investigators are building a program that uses improvisation to teach kids and teens with medical issues healthy ways to cope Medical issues have been linked to anxiety and depression Doing theatre can prevent these complications Participants will meet in groups of about ten for ten weeks to do improvisation that is fun and supportive Participants will meet with a study team member before the program starts after the program ends six months after the program ends and twelve months after the program ends At these visits participants will be screened for anxiety depression quality of life and will be given a short interview
Detailed Description: Adolescents with chronic medical conditions are at increased risk for anxiety and depression compared to other people their age Therapies that use role-play prevent anxiety and depression However often these studies do not have an underlying psychological framework or there is not enough information to replicate the program Investigators designed an intervention using role-play based on Integrative Community Therapy developed in the 1980s by Dr Adalberto Barreto This program will help adolescents with chronic medical conditions explore their feelings about issues related to having a chronic condition learn new coping strategies and help one another find support among peers

This treatment will take place once a week for 10 weeks and investigators will compare the effects to those derived from improvisational theatre alone To evaluate this new treatment the study team will screen participants for anxiety depression quality of life and will give a short qualitative interview This will occur before and after the intervention 6 months after the intervention and 1 year after the intervention
