The EMBER protocol is a health care method that is designed to increase resilience, in order to improve well-being and overall health in women who have experienced violence by a partner. This study explores whether the EMBER intervention works in this way. Eight participants will take part in the EMBER program and complete questionnaires every week during the intervention. The researchers will compare the timeline for the intervention to how resilience levels change. They will also check whether changes in resilience are linked to changes in health and well-being.
