Intimate partner violence continues to happen in families with alarming frequency. Many children and teens who are in the child welfare system have witnessed violence between adult caregivers, and they carry the emotional scars and behavioral symptoms of having been impacted. This training will examine the impact of adult intimate partner violence on children, and will explore the latest research regarding how to promote resiliency and recovery for children who have been effected by caregiver domestic violence. It can be confusing and challenging to be a caring adult in the lives of children who witnessed violence between their parents. Consequently this training will offer support strategies to therapists, foster parents and group home staff members working with children impacted by family violence.
