The overall purpose of the proposed research is to test a Prevention and Access Intervention for Families (PAIF) with Bosnians in Chicago who are torture survivors and who are not utilizing formal mental health services. The intervention aims to: 1) help families to be better able to draw upon the families' strengths and resources to cope together under the stresses of survival and displacement; and 2) improve the families' ability to obtain appropriate care for possible mental health consequences of torture from sources outside the family.
