The Roshni Project - Developing a Psychosocial Intervention
April 6, 2020 updated by: Gursharan Virdee, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
The Roshni Project Phase 3: Developing a Culturally Driven Approach to Enhancing the Mental Well-being of Young South Asian Women
The mental health sector is being called upon to develop and implement interventions for youth that attend to gender, age and cultural diversity (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2016).
The proposed project outlines the development and feasibility testing of a culturally driven transdiagnostic psychosocial intervention for South Asian women aged 16-24 years.
We will recruit 30 participants to complete the 12 week psychosocial intervention.
Pre, midpoint and post evaluations will be completed to asses change in mental health, self esteem and values, and also qualitative feedback on participant experiences of the intervention.
