What this trial studies

This study focuses on individuals diagnosed with leprosy, a condition often accompanied by significant stigma and social exclusion, particularly in rural areas. It employs Trauma-Informed Motivational Interviewing (TIMI) to address the psychological and social challenges faced by these individuals, aiming to enhance resilience, improve self-perception, and promote social re-engagement. By integrating trauma-informed care with motivational interviewing techniques, the study seeks to empower participants to overcome the emotional distress associated with their condition and improve their overall mental health outcomes.
