“…Many studies have been conducted to examine the association between domestic violence exposure and internalizing symptoms like anxiety and depression (Alaggia & Donohue, 2018; Carracedo et al, 2018; Pingley, 2017; Rode et al, 2019). Longitudinal studies have shown that exposure to domestic violence has long-term and lasting impacts on internalizing symptoms.…”

“…Additionally, the devastating impact of family and IPV on children has increased the rates of suicide, self-pity, self-harm, and injury (Rode et al, 2019). Parental IPV can lead to long-term negative consequences to adolescents due to emotional and psychological distress ranging from low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and drug abuse to suicidality (Alaggia & Donohue, 2018; Fong et al, 2017; Rosser-Limiñ ana et al, 2020)…”

Exposure of children to their parents’ intimate partner violence (IPV) is recognized as an adverse childhood experience that has a significant impact on the overall healthy development of the children and this research summarizes all relevant literature to determine the prevalence, impacts, risks, and protective factors of adolescents subjected to parental IPV since childhood. The literature in this scoping was scrutinized based on both inclusion, exclusion criteria. Almost 15 articles were reviewed out of 118 related literature sourced from electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Research Gate, and Google Scholar published in the year 2016–2021. The search method followed Mays, Roberts, and Popay’s process of gathering relevant literature and mapping important ideas to capture the available data in a study topic, especially the one which lacked proper evaluation. The results of this review of the literature indicate that parental IPV is a pervasive problem that impairs the adolescent’s overall well-being. It also highlights a range of protective factors that can mitigate the impact of parental IPV. The findings of this scoping review have implications for practice and policy. Given the enormous scope and burden of children’s parental IPV exposure, intervention techniques to safeguard this vulnerable population and enhance well-being are urgently needed.

“…Another participant described midlife as a life stage that opened up new possibilities for them: “[I] never would have had confidence, awareness, whatever to have done that before, like I just wouldn’t have to be able to figure out that I wanted, that there was something more” (P17). The ability to have perspective, hope, and increased self-esteem (confidence) are resilience markers (Alaggia & Donohue, 2018).…”

“…The study data showed clear examples of resilience pathways toward recovery as described by participants. Resilience is a concept that today is better understood more than simply “bouncing back,” but rather it is an approach that recognizes that resilience does not just happen—it needs to be fostered, developed, and promoted (Alaggia & Donohue, 2018; Ungar, 2013). Rutter (2012) conceptualized resilience as a process rather than a fixed trait and suggests that when embedded in a life course perspective, “turning points” can act as catalysts for change.…”

Despite the high percentage of adults living with anorexia nervosa (AN) over the life course, there is limited understanding of what it means to be living with AN in midlife when the majority of research has focused on adolescents and young adults. As such, clinical practice for individuals in midlife is informed by a severe and enduring AN (SE-AN) framework, which assumes that recovery is not necessarily feasible past young adulthood. This study used constructivist grounded theory methodology to understand the experiences of adults in midlife living with AN. In-depth analyses of 19 participant narratives in midlife show that individuals face barriers to seeking help or remaining in recovery; however, midlife can also act as a significant catalyst toward recovery. Subsequently, there is merit in revisiting the utility of the SE-AN framework in the context of life course theory and exploring resilience-informed approaches in supporting recovery from AN.

“…A holistic approach to resilience is based on social-ecological factors rather than focusing solely on individual (intra-personal) characteristics. As such, examining environmental factors attributed to resilience promotion is examined at all levels of the human ecology (ontogenic, interpersonal, mezzo, macro) ( Alaggia & Donohue, 2018 ; Rutter, 2012 ). When faced with past adversities, past and current trauma, and job stressors, holistic resilience does not look only at the individual worker but rather encompasses the various environmental factors that support resilient responses (i.e.…”

Canadian social workers were surveyed about early adversities, mental health, and resilience. Bivariate analysis ( n = 236) was conducted to understand relationships between predictor and outcome variables; and logistic regression analyses were conducted for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and resilience. The impact of pandemic-related factors was also investigated. The results indicate that social workers are experiencing concerning levels of mental health issues, with significantly lower levels of resilience in younger social workers. A trauma and resilience informed approach to workplace policies and practices is urgently required to support social workers’ mental health needs.
