Culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group interventions can support student well-being, yet scalable options remain limited. To address this gap, group CBT for anxiety management and group DBT for emotion regulation were culturally adapted for university students in T\u00fcrkiye. Adaptations involved revising content and language, removing culturally mismatched elements, and incorporating culturally relevant and age-appropriate material.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This project aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering culturally adapted group CBT for anxiety management and group DBT for emotion regulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The project includes three steps: (i) a comprehensive systematic review of group CBT and DBT interventions worldwide; (ii) translation, adaptation, localization, and development of 8-session group interventions; and (iii) implementation, data collection, and analysis.
