Summary

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital are looking to see if a program created to help improve thinking and memory can work for people affected by trauma, including asylum seekers and refugees, survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) and others with traumatic brain injury (TBI). They're checking if this program is practical and if people find it helpful. The study will have two groups. Participants will complete a first questionnaire and then be assigned to a group by chance. One group will participate in the program immediately and then answer the second questionnaire (approximately 3 months after the first questionnaire they did). Then they will wait and then answer the third and final questionnaire approximately 6 months after the first one. The second group will wait and answer the second questionnaire approximately 3 months after the first one. Then they will receive the program and answer the third and final questionnaire (approximately 6 months after the first one they did.)

Interventions

BEHAVIORALA Trauma-informed, Paraprofessional Delivered Virtual Cognitive Rehabilitation Program

The intervention will involve 8 proposed individual sessions conducted virtually by a trained bilingual paraprofessional. The intervention will be provided in English or Spanish depending on the participant's preference. The sessions cover psychoeducation about TBI and related symptoms like depression and anxiety, and cognitive activities to address cognitive symptoms (e.g., relaxation strategies and exercises around improving attention, concentration, learning, and memory). Each session covers the topic, real-life examples and practice, and exercises to do outside of the sessions.
