A psychosocial health programme using movement, games and sport was developed and evaluated in the rural area of Guatemala, with two groups of women who suffered violence. Participatory observation and 32 interviews were conducted; 33 of the 56 participants filled out initial and final questionnaires. Research challenges were discussed and contextualised. Various health factors such as sense of coherence and self-esteem improved. The psychosocial approach and culturally grounded use of movement, games and sport as active and participatory tools in combination with verbal expression, provide a significant way to foster health in the context of violence and conflict.
