This study is for African-American women in abusive relationships who have tried to harm themselves in the past year. It will evaluate if special group sessions can help them feel better.

When people try to harm themselves, it's often due to feeling very upset or stressed. These feelings can come from problems like being hurt by others, using drugs, or having mental health issues. For African-American women, these feelings might be even stronger because of tough living situations or unfair treatment. This study wants to see if group sessions designed just for them can help.

Women in the study will be placed in one of two groups. One group will attend 10 weekly group sessions that focus on their culture and personal experiences. The other group will receive regular mental health care. All sessions will happen at Grady Health System. The study will check in with participants after the sessions, and again 6 and 12 months later.

• Length: 10 weeks of sessions, plus follow-up surveys.
• Location: Grady Health System.
• Eligibility: African-American women in abusive relationships.
