Description

"Part I of this tape, A Guide for Helping Professionals, introduces issues regarding children in domestically violent families. Insights are provided into both the short- and long-range needs of these children. The video includes a view of the problem from a family court judge, a discussion among helping professionals, and recollections from an adult who had been a child observer of violence in the home. Part II, Working with Child Observers of Family Violence, which can be used directly with children, contains eight animated vignettes based on drawings by child observers (1-4 minutes each). The children's voices are heard discussing their experiences. The Leader's Guide and Activity Sheets provide supportive materials to children to address the following topics: self-concept, self-esteem, labeling feelings, social isolation, safety skills, anger, not being unique, fear, problem-solving, and ownership of problem." -Child Development Media, Inc.
