Purpose: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health issue impacting one in three women, worldwide. Broadly defined as any act of coercive control within the context of an intimate relationship, IPV often results in significant negative health outcomes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a mainstay treatment for relational trauma, has particular relevance for women undergoing the many transformations associated with the perinatal period. The findings of this case analysis build upon existing literature supporting the positive impact of Trauma and Violence- Informed CBT (TVICBT) for women who have experienced IPV and are living with mental health challenges.
Methods: As part of a larger mixed-methods study, three women who experienced IPV and received TVICBT during pregnancy participated in in-depth, semi-structured interviews to determine the perceived value and acceptability of this intervention.
Findings: Insights gained herein, serve to enrich current evidence, suggesting that TVICBT provided during pregnancy may hold promise for the treatment of IPV-related mood and anxiety disorders.
Conclusions: Given that improved perinatal mental health has been linked to enhanced maternal resiliency and quality of life, greater maternal-infant attachment, and positive child health outcomes, this research has the potential to bridge the critical knowledge gap at the intersection of motherhood, trauma, and mental health.

Department of Behavioural Science and Health, University College London, London, 1-19 Torrington Place, WC1E 7HB, UK.
Background: Smoking rates in the UK have declined steadily over the past decades, masking considerable inequalities, as little change has been observed among people with a mental health condition. This trial sought to assess the feasibility and acceptability of supplying an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) starter kit for smoking cessation as an adjunct to usual care for smoking cessation, to smokers with a mental health condition treated in the community, to inform a future effectiveness trial.
Methods: This randomised controlled feasibility trial, conducted March-December 2022, compared the intervention (e-cigarette starter kit with a corresponding information leaflet and demonstration with Very Brief Advice) with a 'usual care' control at 1-month follow-up.
