Protective Factors for Domestic Violence Survivors: A Pathway to More Opportunities

Many in the child abuse and neglect prevention field are familiar with the concept of protective factors as a framework for strengthening and supporting families. In this Digital Dialogue, Dr. Tien Ung, Associate Director of Impact and Learning at Futures Without Violence, and Dr. Charlyn Harper Browne, Senior Associate at the Center for the Study of Social Policy, will present five research-based protective factors that illustrate opportunities for prevention and early intervention with families impacted by co-occurring domestic violence and child maltreatment. The conversation will focus on new resources for the field, including an issue brief and practice tips on building protective factors for the specific needs of survivors.
