*** What Has Helped You Recover from an Abusive Relationship? ***
Dissertation Research Project
South Asian Domestic Violence Women Survivors Required

What does the study involve?
Filling in 2 surveys to check if you are eligible to be interviewed. A small number of those who complete the survey will take part in a one-hour interview (excluding quick chat before and after interview) via phone or Skype at a convenient time and date.

This gives women a chance to discuss their understanding of what recovering after abuse means to them, how they identify it and have developed or adapted it to overcome their experience of abuse, adding knowledge to current psychological research on this topic and possibly helping other women in similar situations.

Are you eligible?
We are looking to interview a maximum of 10 South Asian Indian Women, speaking English, born in India or Pakistan, living in the UK, who experienced abuse from their husband or partner, like hitting, slapping, shouting, screaming over 2 years ago and have found ways of recovering from this trauma. You must not have serious mental health problems, be experiencing nightmares, have active thoughts of dying or harming someone else. You have not, currently or in the past, experienced technology-related abuse. You will be asked to complete some forms to check this to confirm you are ok to be interviewed. These will assess your ability to control your feelings. Not everyone who completes a survey will be interviewed as we only need to speak to a few women.
