Summary

The purpose of the Passport to Freedom (P2F) Health and Housing is to provide formerly homeless women a supportive group to process the impact of trauma on the women's overall health and wellbeing, learn strategies to reduce the symptoms of trauma and stress, and increased ability to cope with everyday stress while maintaining permanent housing.

Detailed description

The proposed project will use a mixed method design to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of the Passport to Freedom (P2F) Program, an intervention for formerly homeless women currently housed through a supportive permanent housing program. P2F involves: three 2-hr sessions to promote physical and emotional wellbeing through mindfulness techniques and health promotion activities; two home visits to provide individualized sessions with a nurse and a community health navigator; and a follow-up session 4 weeks after intervention to discuss the women's perception of the intervention. By the end of the program, women will have improved emotional self-regulation in response to everyday stress, positive perception of managing women's overall health, and increased confidence in maintaining stable housing.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Passport to Freedom (P2F)	During the P2F sessions, the women learn to understand and process the impact of multiple traumas on women's lives and health and learn specific strategies to overcome the symptoms of trauma and everyday stress. Each session will begin and end with a mindfulness exercise to provide different strategies the women can use when these women are in a stressful situation. At the end of each session, the participants will complete a session evaluation. The women will also have a home visit or telephone call with a community health navigator who will conduct a social determinant of health screenings assessment to determine what identified social barriers these women may have. The community health navigator will help with linking the participant to a community agency that addresses the identified problem. Four weeks after the completion of the program, the women will be contacted for a follow-up interview to learn the effectiveness of the program sessions.
