Detailed Description
Individuals with cumulative exposures to interpersonal violence are at high risk for co-occurring mental and physical health problems (e.g., PTSD, HIV/STI) and safety issues such as living in unsafe households or being in unsafe relationships. The proposed research will test the efficacy of Being Safe, Healthy, and Positively Empowered (BSHAPE), an intervention designed to comprehensively assess cumulative exposures to violence, current safety needs, and includes components to reduce the impact of trauma such as poor mental health, HIV/STI risk, and to promote health through knowledge building, skill building, and stress reduction practices.
