In a group setting, the intervention will cover topics such as Mindfulness, Health (examine impact of trauma and stress on physical and mental well-being), Healthy relationships, Family matters (coping with conflicts) and Reflection session.
Each group session (5) will last approximately 90 minutes, once weekly, and begin and end with mindfulness exercises. The women are also encouraged to download free mindfulness apps to practice the exercises between sessions.
Women enrolled will receive health information that will cover a range of chronic health topics (pain, asthma, hypertension, diabetes, obesity), to complement already existing tools on mental health and post traumatic syndrome.
Women enrolled will complete surveys:
baseline questionnaires, a pre and post survey during each session, and follow-up questionnaires 4 weeks after the intervention.
