About

The purpose of the Passport to Freedom (P2F) Health and Housing is to provide formerly homeless women a supportive group to process the impact of trauma on the women's overall health and wellbeing, learn strategies to reduce the symptoms of trauma and stress, and increased ability to cope with everyday stress while maintaining permanent housing.

Full description

The proposed project will use a mixed method design to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of the Passport to Freedom (P2F) Program, an intervention for formerly homeless women currently housed through a supportive permanent housing program. P2F involves: three 2-hr sessions to promote physical and emotional wellbeing through mindfulness techniques and health promotion activities; two home visits to provide individualized sessions with a nurse and a community health navigator; and a follow-up session 4 weeks after intervention to discuss the women's perception of the intervention. By the end of the program, women will have improved emotional self-regulation in response to everyday stress, positive perception of managing women's overall health, and increased confidence in maintaining stable housing.
