Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Social Work
  • Domestic Violence Research

Background:

  • Children witnessing domestic violence face unique challenges.
  • Shelter services are expanding but understanding children's needs from mothers' perspectives is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify mothers' perceptions of their children's needs while residing in domestic violence shelters.
  • To inform program development for improved child and family support in shelter settings.

Main Methods:

  • Focus-group methodology was employed.
  • 27 mothers who used shelter services within two years participated.
  • Data analysis identified dominant and supporting thematic categories of needs.

Main Results:

  • Six dominant categories of children's needs were identified: counseling, daily living (family integrity, normality), recreation, and parenting.
  • Mothers also highlighted needs related to shelter support and the shelter environment's impact on children.
  • 12 supporting thematic categories further detailed these needs.

Conclusions:

  • Mothers' insights are crucial for understanding children's needs in shelters.
  • Findings have direct implications for enhancing shelter program development and support services.
  • Addressing these identified needs can improve outcomes for children exposed to domestic violence.
