GCP groups included the six children enrolled in the project at each GCP school. Sessions were scheduled for 50–60 minutes and were co-led by a Coping Power staff member and another clinician (e.g., graduate student, school counselor). Group leaders remained the same throughout children’s involvement in the program. The majority of the groups were mixed gender; 17% consisted of all boys. The GCP and ICP curricula covered the same content, though specific activities were tailored for the condition. For example, children in GCP had opportunities to practice specific skills through role-plays with their peers, and received feedback from their peers at the end of each session. Children in GCP also participated in monthly individual meetings (approximately 9 individual sessions total, lasting 15–30 minutes each), which is consistent with the standard Coping Power curriculum. The individual sessions were included to build rapport, assess comprehension of material, and address individual issues as needed.
