Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of The Seven Challenges® comprehensive counseling program. Results, based on data from 392 adolescent clients enrolled in 7 different agencies providing The Seven Challenges, showed decreases in number of crimes committed; in frequency of substance use; and in severity of substance problems, substance issues, substance use disorders, and internalizing and externalizing disorder symptomatology. Finally, results evidenced improved involvement in self-help activities. These findings strengthen the existing evidence base of The Seven Challenges suggesting its effectiveness as a comprehensive counseling program and its effectiveness across multiple types of health-related outcomes and multiple treatment provider agencies.
