•The participants in the trial will be women with disabilities, matched with women without disabilities from the same cluster. These women will be evenly distributed across control and intervention arms. Participant eligibility will be determined based on the following inclusion criteria:
•1\. People who identify as women, aged 18\-49 years (in this context we do not expect to find any trans men)
•2\. For women with disabilities, they must report at least ‘a lot’ of difficulty on at least one of the six questions in the Washington Group short set or the enhanced question on self\-care, or ‘daily’ and ‘a lot’ to the questions on depression or anxiety
•3\. For women without disabilities, they must be from the same cluster and aged within \+/\-5 years of the woman with disabilities

•Participants will be excluded if they are not able to consent on their own – with the exception of the process evaluation, where those with intellectual difficulties may be interviewed (with their caregiver’s consent) in order to ensure feedback from people with a range of impairment types.
