The Use and Outcomes of Compassion‐Focused Group Interventions With Children and Adolescent Clinical Populations: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis
Overview
This systematic review examines compassion-focused group interventions for children and adolescents aged 11 to 17, synthesizing data from nine recent studies. The authors note preliminary evidence suggesting potential benefits for self-compassion and wellbeing, though outcomes were mixed due to methodological limitations and study heterogeneity. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the emerging evidence base for this transdiagnostic approach.
