Thank you to Dr. Sumedha Ariely, Lysa MacKeen, and Emilee Kerr from the Duke Global Health Institute for their guidance throughout this process. Additionally, our collaborators at Udayan Care, including the staff, Dr. Kiran Modi, Robin Raju, Reetu Mehra, and Aditi Srivastava played a key role. We are excited that we had the opportunity to continue the partnership that Duke and Udayan have shared for over ten years.

We also wanted to send a special thanks to Parvinder Udayan, our research coordinator, as well as Jaya Shekhar, Meghna Chatterjee, Deepanshi Garg, our field research interns, who were instrumental to our success.

• A sample questionnaire—a key part of our time in India was administering quantitative and qualitative measures to 120+ interviewees. The pdf contains the measures used for participants aged 16 and over. 
• A sample workshop—we conducted 5 mental health and life skills workshops for aftercare participants (young adults transitioning out of residential care) in collaboration with Udayan Care. The attached slides are a sample of one of the sessions.
• High risk identification process—one main research objective included identifying participants that needed emergent mental health care, and were at high risk for depression, anxiety, or suicide/self harm. This image outlines the process for high risk identification.
