description Background: Group intervention is highly effective for survivors of IPV. There are fewer interventions available for intimate partner violence in addiction treatment settings in India. Aim: To develop and validate the group intervention module for women survivors of IPV. Materials and Methods: The group intervention manual was developed by assessing the psychosocial needs of survivors (n = 20) of intimate partner violence and subject experts’ opinions (n = 7). The manual was validated using the content validation index and kappa value. Results: The components of the group intervention manual were developed for women survivors of IPV who were seeking treatment for their spouse’s alcohol dependence. The group intervention components include sharing the experience of intimate partner violence, understanding the impact of IPV, psychoeducation regarding alcohol dependence and the treatment process for alcohol dependence, imparting social skills, safety plans, and self-care for the IPV survivors and their children, crisis intervention, and resource mapping. The content validation score of the group manual (I-CVI) is 0.79. The kappa value of 0.0078 indicates that the manual’s content validity is excellent. Conclusion: The group intervention module was validated by the mental health professionals working in the area of partner violence, and final manual has a good content validation score (0.79). The group work manual results indicate that it is feasible to apply in the de-addiction setting in India. Future studies should focus on the large number of population and should look in to address the perpetrated and couple-based intervention for the survivors of IPV.
