This presentation discusses these two public health conditions, as well as the link between IPV and suicide attempts in this population. Then, attention is paid to the description of the Grady Nia Project, which is a culturally competent empowerment group intervention designed to reduce those risk factors and enhance those protective factors associated with suicidal behavior among African American women in abusive partnerships. Data supporting the efficacy and effectiveness of the Grady Nia Project will be shared. Finally, case vignettes will be used to illustrate the lives and experiences of the women in the Grady Nia Project.
