Summary
This study tests whether an 8-session occupational therapy program can improve the health, coping skills, and quality of life of adults who have experienced domestic violence. Participants will meet twice a week for four weeks to learn about sleep, physical activity, healthy cooking, stress management, and mindfulness. The goal is to see if these practical skills help survivors regain a sense of control and well-being.
