Project INSPIRE: INtervention Support Groups: Peers Inspiring Resilience and Empowerment
Sponsor: Yale University
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.

Interventions
(INSPIRE) INtervention Support groups: Peers Inspiring Resilience and Empowerment.
The support group contains both structured components, which are psychoeducational and focused on skill-building, and an unstructured component where discussion is open and determined by the needs and interests of the clients present (e.g., support and process-oriented.)
Traditional Domestic Violence Support Group
The activities of the group are determined by agency staff from week to week and may be open group discussion, psychoeducation, or a combination of both.
