This study seeks to measure the efficacy of Panginam, a researcher-constructed low intensity psychological intervention (LIPI) program, among family survivors of armed conflict in Bangsamoro from the internally displaced persons (IDPs) of the 2017 Marawi Siege. Panginam as LIPI incorporated teachings of Islam as it is designed for Bangsamoro family survivors of armed conflicts. Using a Mixed Methods sequential exploratory research design utilizing ethnographic research and quasi-experimental methods, results reveal the adverse impact of armed conflict on the living situations of participants. A significant decrease was noted in the mean score of pre-test and post-test measures on levels of stress, anxiety, and depression of participants. Thus, Panginam as LIPI is efficacious in reducing levels of stress, anxiety, and depression of family survivors of armed conflict. Further, Panginam improved family processes and dynamics. Lastly, Panginam changed the view of Marawi Siege family survivors on armed conflict from negative to positive meaning.
