Summary

The investigators will develop a new, integrated, group intervention to enhance safety, support, and empowerment for survivors of intimate partner violence in the community. The intervention will consist of 9 weekly, 90-minute group sessions that will teach specific skills for identifying various forms of trauma and abuse, developing mutually supportive relationships, safety planning and self-care, goal-oriented communication, empowerment and self-efficacy, goal setting, coping, and connecting to resources. The investigators will pilot test the intervention, including evaluating the process of implementation, including feasibility, acceptability/likeability, and safety, as well as evaluating outcomes of safety, support, and empowerment. Outcomes from the intervention will be compared to outcomes from a traditional domestic violence support group.
