Bouncing back after trauma: music therapy, gender, and mental health in conflict-ridden settings
Findings suggest that the HIH program improves mental health disorders for both women and men, and that including men in a program originally designed for women might enhance mutual understanding between women and men contributing to effective and sustainable healing. Clinical trials are needed for future research to examine the impact of men's inclusion in women's originally designed mental health interventions.
