The PI developed the Image Narrative Intervention (INI) based on the research using visual images in which visual images and narratives were found to support trauma survivors in narrating their experiences and in meaning making. The proposed study is the first study to test the therapeutic effect of the INI program. The investigators propose to assess, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the feasibility and preliminary effect of the INI through a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) design with a wait list control.
