About this trial

This research is testing if 'Hope Groups' -- a psychosocial, mental health, parenting strengthening, and violence prevention support group program -- work to help Palestinian caregivers displaced by war.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participant is living in one of our partner refugee camps.

Participant is a parent/caregiver for one or more child (of any age).

Participant is over the age of 18.

Participant has high, medium, or low literacy. (Note: This is in order to use our Hope Groups programme guide. Our team is concerned that individuals with no literacy would need more audio files, rather than just a text-driven participant guide. If Hope Groups demonstrate effectiveness in this pilot, investigators will have focus groups with low-literacy participants, to create a future version which is suitable for people of all literacy backgrounds.)
