Abstract

Depression in adolescence generates a great feeling of sadness, discouragement, lack of interest in doing activities or setting goals for the future, significantly affecting the way in which the adolescent thinks, feels and acts, causing mental, emotional and physical discomfort. The objective of this research work was to design a psychoeducation program for the prevention of depression in first, second and third year high school students of the Santa Marianita de Jesús Educational Unit in the city of Cuenca for the period 2022-2023. The research is based on a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental cross-sectional and descriptive design, with the participation of 311 students. For this reason, a psychoeducation program designed for the prevention of depression was designed, which is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in adolescents.
