Where are the Fathers? Relational Approaches for Domestic Violence Exposure in Early Childhood

Become familiar with a range of possible infant mental health interventions for children exposed to domestic violence, including Dr. Lieberman's innovative "Co-Parenting" model.

• Clarify steps for assessing which approaches are indicated, with a focuson safety of the intervener and the family: a. When is inclusion of the violent partner indicated or contraindicated? b. If both partners are included, how do interveners avoid polarization?

• Explore how involvement of both partners is actualized (parallel dyadic and triadic engagement and engagement strategies)

• Learn strategies to help parents view their relationship in context of its impact on the child, and in context to their parenting goals with the child.

• Investigate strategies to help the child contextualize-but not justify parental violence.
