Safe and Understood: Intervening with families to promote healthy child outcomes and prevent abuse recurrence for young child victims of domestic violence exposure

Led by the Child Development Institute, the Safe and Understood project expands the reach of two existing programs – Caring Dads and Mothers in Mind. These programs for parents with experiences of family violence build skills to manage stress, enhance self-esteem, and support the social, emotional and developmental health of their children. The project was implemented and evaluated in select sites in Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec, including rural and French speaking communities, and with Indigenous families.
