Summary
This study tests whether trained peer counselors from the LGBTIQA+ community can reduce psychological distress and violence exposure in Nepal. About 960 LGBTIQA+ adults aged 18-55 who have faced violence and feel distressed will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: individual counseling, individual counseling plus monthly group meetings, or a control group. The goal is to see if peer support improves mental health and safety over one year.
