Our mixed-methods study evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of a lay-counselor-delivered low-intensity psychosocial intervention for women who experienced intimate partner violence in India. We found statistically significant improvements in mental health outcomes like depression and anxiety. Participants also reported positive changes in thoughts, behavior, emotional management, relationships, self-care, and daily functioning. The use of lay-counselors offers a scalable solution in resource-limited settings, addressing a critical need in low- and middle-income countries. This approach highlights a novel and effective strategy for supporting IPV survivors in culturally diverse contexts.
