Abstract
Validation from family members has been found to reduce emotion dysregulation among youth, yet no interventions teach the skill of validation exclusively. This convergent, mixed-methods pilot study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of a single-session virtual validation intervention, as well as its impact on family members' knowledge of validation and perceptions of hope. Thirty-four family members on the waitlist for a Family Connections program in Canada participated in the 2-h intervention. Qualitative feedback supported the feasibility, acceptability and utility of the intervention. Family members highlighted practice exercises and self-validation content as particularly useful. Quantitative analyses indicated a significant increase in applied knowledge of validation and perceptions of hope (p < 0.05). This study offers preliminary evidence that learning validation as a standalone skill may be feasible and helpful for family members of youth experiencing emotion dysregulation and could be a timely way to support those awaiting comprehensive offerings. Further research is needed to explore the role of single-session interventions in family member engagement with long-term programs such as Family Connections.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
