Culturally Informed Interventions for Military, Veteran and Emergency Services Personnel: the importance of group structure, lived experience facilitators and recovery-oriented content
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-21, 13:57 authored by Jonathan LaneJonathan Lane, Van Hooff, M, Lawrence-Wood, E, McFarlane, AThere is little available research on what constitutes a culturally informed program to treat mental health conditions among military, veteran, and emergency services personnel. The current study presents the qualitative participant evaluations of a modified group Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) program. Participants were grouped with either lived-experience facilitators or non-lived-experience clinicians for the program, and 93 textual responses to a series of qualitative questions were analyzed. The findings suggest strong support for the postulated three primary components of a culturally informed program: a group structure; facilitation by peers with lived experience; and functional, skills-based, and recovery-oriented content.
