Interventions for Children Who Witness Intimate Partner Violence: A Literature Review

Agar, Sharon

The purpose of the current document is to provide an overview of the literature on this topic, with the goal of eventually developing best practice guidelines, including protocols for collaboration among service providers who work with children who have witnessed intimate partner violence. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of services for children who witness violence (CWV), as this is a key aspect of service provision. The practice standards and programs that are currently in place in British Columbia, such as those developed by the BC/Yukon Society of Transition Houses (BCSTH) for Children Who Witness Abuse (CWWA) Counsellors, will be also be highlighted.
