Cultural adaptation of a trauma-informed mind-body intervention for survivors of human trafficking

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this Voices from Practice article, we present the process for adapting a 12-week mind-body group mental health intervention from development and implementation in Uganda for implementation with human trafficking survivors in the Philippines. We summarize key steps in the intervention adaptation process, outlining recommendations for other social work practitioners interested in culturally adapting community mental health interventions. This Voices from Practice piece provides guidance to social workers regarding an intentional and client-centered approach to adaptation of interventions across cultural contexts.
