This is a manualized curriculum for incarcerated women with a history of aggression and violence. The curriculum is based on a four-level model of violence prevention (individual, relational, community, and social).
The aim is to reduce outbursts of anger, symptoms of depression and anxiety, stimulate self-efficacy factors, stabilize rehabilitation, and develop an understanding of trauma and appropriate expressions of aggression.
The intervention consists of 20 sessions, in which a facilitator follows a group management guide with various psychotherapeutic strategies (psychoeducation, roleplay, mindfulness activities, cognitive behavioral restructuring, and trauma coping skills).
