Intervening post exposure is critical to help children and their protective parent heal and avoid long-term negative consequences. Children aged 2-17 and their mothers who were victims of domestic violence participated in a 12-week group program delivered by domestic violence agency staff that provides psychoeducation on the impact of trauma and domestic violence and aims to improve parent and child well-being. The impact of the Child Witness to Domestic Violence (CWDV) program was tested in an intervention group ( n = 69 children, 33 mothers) who participated in CWDV and control group ( n = 80 children, 39 mothers) consisting of children whose mothers received adult-focused domestic violence services but were not enrolled in CWDV or other child-focused services. Multiple regression analyses controlling for child gender, child age, mother\u2019s age, and the outcome of interest at time 1 found that participation in CWDV program significantly predicted better child functioning as indicated by less hyperactivity ( B = \u2013.85, p = .06), fewer negative emotional symptoms ( B = \u20131.14, p = .01), and fewer total behavioral difficulties ( B = \u20132.48, p = .02) as well as higher maternal hope ( B = .57, p = .03). These data provide promising evidence of the impact of a brief, replicable group intervention that promotes healing and well-being among children and parents exposed to domestic violence. Limitations include a quasi-experimental design and reliance on maternal report.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605211035874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,4]],"date-time":"2021-08-04T00:51:16Z","timestamp":1628038276000},"page":"NP18175-NP18193","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Supporting Children Who Experience Domestic Violence: Evaluating the Child Witness to Domestic Violence Program"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1039-6403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erin C.","family":"Schubert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sojourner Family Peace Center, Milwaukee, WI, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08862605211035874","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17439760701409546"},{"key":"bibr2-08862605211035874","author":"Black M.
