“…Yet, women who experience violence often face numerous barriers to health care services, particularly marginalized or minority women experiencing intersecting health and social inequities (Rodríguez, Valentine, Son, & Muhammad, 2009). And while much is known about post-traumatic stress responses, depression, and other mental health impacts of IPV, less is known about the physical health impacts of violence against women (Olofsson et al, 2011); even less still is known about physical health outcomes for children and youth who are exposed to IPV.…”

“…Negative health outcomes associated with domestic violence exposure may also be a result of the impact of IPV on women's mental and physical health, which in turn can affect their ability to provide proper care for their children (Åsling-Monemi, Naved, & Persson, 2008;Hasselmann & Reichenheim, 2006;Olofsson et al, 2011;Silverman et al, 2011). Additionally, if mothers are experiencing domestic violence, they may be less likely to seek health care for their children for fear that health care practitioners may detect and report domestic violence to the authorities (Ackerson & Subramanian, 2009;Onyskiw, 2002;Rico, Fenn, Abramsky, & Watts, 2011).…”

“…International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies 2014) 5(4: 493-587 In Harm's Way: A Special Issue on the Impacts and Costs of Witnessing Intimate Partner Violence Poor health outcomes associated with domestic violence are compounded by poverty and poor socioeconomic status, which may further impact women's ability to provide proper care for their children (Ramiro, Madrid, & Brown, 2010). Exposure to domestic violence may also be an indicator that children are themselves experiencing abuse (Ackerson & Subramanian, 2009;Olofsson et al, 2011), which is also associated with serious negative health outcomes (Hasselmann & Reichenheim, 2006).…”

Children living in homes where intimate partner violence occurs are often exposed to such violence through witnessing, seeing its effects, hearing about it, or otherwise being made aware that violence is taking place between parents or caregivers. Exposure to intimate partner violence is considered to be a form of child maltreatment, and affected children are often also the victims of targeted child abuse. This paper presents findings from a comprehensive review of the literature on the impact of exposure to intimate partner violence for children and youth, focusing on: (a) neurological disorders; (b) physical health outcomes; (c) mental health challenges; (d) conduct and behavioural problems; (e) delinquency, crime, and victimization; and (f) academic and employment outcomes. The notion of cascading effects informed our framework and analysis as it became evident that the individual categories of impacts were not only closely related to one another, but in a dynamic fashion also influence each other in multiple and interconnected ways over time. The research reviewed clearly shows that children who are exposed to intimate partner violence are at significant risk for lifelong negative outcomes, and the consequences are felt widely in society.

“…One of the most prevalent risk factors impacting children's social, emotional, psychological and physical well‐being, as well as educational outcomes, is domestic violence (Council of Australian Governments ; Bartels ; Olofsson et al . ), whether the children are directly exposed to the violence or not (Cooley & Frazer ; Potito et al . ; Bartels ; Douglas & Walsh ).…”

A B S T RA C TDomestic violence continues to be one of the most significant aspects of child abuse and neglect in Australia. However, the children are not well served by either child protection or domestic violence service sectors, which continue to operate as segregated, tertiary response systems. This paper reports on research that examined bridges and barriers to effective collaboration between child protection and domestic violence services in responding to children affected by domestic violence. The differing conceptions and responses of the workers from each service sector, in relation to children and families affected by domestic violence, is discussed in the light of gaps in service provision in both sectors. In doing so, areas of common ground for more effective collaboration between these service sectors are identified, including the prioritizing of emotional and psychological abuse, supporting and empowering abused mothers, strengthening the mother-child relationship, and supporting children and families across a continuum of service provision, particularly in the medium-to long-term. Understanding each other and finding common ground across the two service sectors is paramount to improving how each responds to children and families affected by domestic violence.

“…Research is mainly focused on prevalence (e.g. Bowen 2015), the impact of EDV on children's behaviours (Holmes, Voith, and Gromoske 2015) and school results (Assad, Friedemann-Sanchez, and Levison 2016), and the psychological and social effects of EDV (Graham-Berman et al 2012;Holt, Buckley, and Whelan 2008).However, relatively few studies consider the effects on children's educational outcomes (King and Scott 2014;Olofsson et al 2011).…”
