The aim of this study is to measure the impact of these H.O.O.V.E.S. healing intensives on Veteran participants using several psychological instruments. The investigators are planning to administer the demographic questionnaires and psychological instruments to Veteran participants before the healing intensives. Psychological instruments will be administered immediately pre-intervention, pre- and post-session for each session, post-intervention, 90, 120 and 360 days post-intervention. The primary aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session and pre- to post-intervention.
8,055 studies on the registry are indexed under Depression; 1,643 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 250 is above the median of 160 across 1,084 observational studies indexed under Depression.

Mean Difference in AAQII pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
AAQII is a 10-item measure that assesses psychological flexibility, with higher values indicating greater psychological inflexibility. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in PANAS pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
PANAS measures short-term positive and negative emotions. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in STAI pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
The STAI tracks the symptoms of anxiety, and the total score ranges from 20 to 80. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in PCL pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
PCL measures PTSD symptoms. The total PCL score can range from 17 to 85, with higher values indicating greater PTSD symptoms. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in BDI pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) measures depressive symptoms, with higher values indicating greater depressive symptoms. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in PTGI pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
The Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) examines the post-trauma growth using 21 items. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in B-SCS pre- to post-session and pre- to post-intervention
The Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale (B-SCS) assesses the suicide risk. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in AAQII pre- to post-session
AAQII is a 10-item measure that assesses psychological flexibility, with higher values indicating greater psychological inflexibility. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes between post sessions using the repeated measure ANOVA.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in PANAS pre- to post-session
PANAS measures short-term positive and negative emotions. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes between post sessions using the repeated measure ANOVA.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 years
Mean Difference in STAI pre- to post-session
The STAI tracks the symptoms of anxiety, and the total score ranges from 20 to 80. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes between post sessions using the repeated measure ANOVA.
