Health Transition Fund - (H.T.F.)

The Health Transition Fund Research was funded by Health Canada. The study was to determine whether or not complementary care therapies delivered in a community based organization were useful to survivors of child sexual abuse. Seventy-six female survivors (16 years of age and older) participated in the three modalities of complementary care. The three modalities were: Aroma-Massage (32 women),Reiki (32 women) and Psychodramatic Bodywork ® (12 women). "The participants were not choosing an alternative to counseling but wanted to enhance their healing with complementary holistic body therapy."
