Coping Strategies In Women And Children Living With Domestic Violence

Staying Alive

About the Course

Most safety planning in regard to domestic violence has focused on the women experiencing domestic violence, overlooking the women’s multiple roles and social identities, and excluding their children. The study covered in this article/course explored the shared safety and coping strategies that were used by mothers and children in severe domestic violence situations. In this study, interviews with 30 mothers who experienced severe or potentially life-threatening domestic violence and 5 adults who experienced domestic violence in childhood were analyzed, revealing five major themes. This article/course will discuss domestic violence and its impact on women and children, and will explore the five major themes of safety strategies used by mothers and children highlighted in this research.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Coping Strategies In Women And Children Living With Domestic Violence created by Alexis Winfield, M.A., R.P. et al. in 2023.
