Culturally adapted guided self-help CBT manual 'Khushi or Khatoon (KoK)'
Participants will receive the culturally adapted guided self-help CBT manual 'Khushi or Khatoon (KoK)'. The manual includes eight modules on managing anxiety and depression. The modules focus on cognitive restructuring, problem solving, behavioural activation, conflict management, interpersonal relationships, mental health and well-being, and self-care. Each module is delivered over one week. The intervention uses culturally appropriate stories, drawings, and examples from local folklore and religious contexts to describe the concepts of CBT.
