Abstract:
nato' we ho win is a trauma-and-violence-informed artistic and cultural intervention for Indigenous women who have experienced intimate partner violence. The results of this study provide evidence that engagement in nato' we ho win had a positive impact on participants' well-being. Participants completed self-report questionnaires at intake, post-intervention, and at one-year follow-up. Multilevel modeling analyses assessed for within-participant changes over time. There was a statistically significant increase in participants' self-reported sense of resilience (p < 0.001), personal agency, connectedness, and post-traumatic growth (ps < 0.05). There were statistically significant decreases in participants' self-reported anxiety and depression (ps < 0.01) from intake to one-year follow-up.
