For each item participants will select either: often, sometimes, or never. Higher scores are associated with higher levels of perceived rejection. |

Change in resilience capacity given social rejection at 6 weeks |

Change in satisfaction with close relationships at 6 weeks |
The Clinical Global Impressions-Severity/Improvement (CGI-S/I), a global measure of improvement and functioning, will be used to measure satisfaction with quality of close relationships. Each of the 3 items are rated on a 7-point scale from: 1 (normal) to 7 (amongst the most severely ill patients). CGI-C scores range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse). Lower scores are favorable. |

Participant feelings of acceptability of study intervention |
An investigator developed self report 3-item scale to assess participants' feelings about whether HEARTS was informative, interesting, how likely participants would be to recommend it to other people and suggestions for how it could be improved will be used to assess this outcome. Participants will indicate their satisfaction on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 represents highest satisfaction. |

Teacher rating of participant engagement and satisfaction |
Teachers of the HEARTS intervention will complete a 3-item survey to assess their rating of participant engagement and satisfaction scores (PESS). Scores can range from 0 to 3 where 0 is low and 3 is high satisfaction. Higher scores are more favorable. |
