Summary
This study looks at two short counseling programs for veterans who have experienced intimate partner violence in the past year. One program offers up to 8 sessions covering topics like social support and health effects, while the other is a single session focused on safety and resources. Researchers want to see which approach better boosts self-confidence and improves mental health over 15 months.
