Living Life to the Full, A Pilot Program in the Somali Community
Dr. Rebekah Pratt, University of Minnesota Assistant Professor, Department of Family Medicine and Community Health
Living Life to the Full is an evidence-based, peer-delivered mental health intervention that has been broadly implemented in the UK, Australia, and Canada. It was piloted with Somali women in Minnesota. The intervention was well received, particularly because it was delivered by a fellow community member. Participants reported gaining skills in problem solving, stress reduction, and anger management. Participants also felt that the intervention helped to address some of the stigma around mental health in their community.
