Notes:	Overview: This article from the United Kingdom (UK) posits that family violence represents not only an attack on the victim but also on the relationship between a mother and her children. The article gives an overview of a research project undertaken in the UK, designed to develop activities to strengthen the damaged relationship between mother and children in the context of family violence. The three year project developed and tested activities with women and children and produced two different books for children under nine and nine and over. The author recommends that the divide between children’s services and women’s services be overcome. It is recommended that mother and children programs for victims of family violence extend beyond traditional ‘parenting programs’, and provide a space to debrief and discuss the impact of violence and abuse.
