“Which home are we going back to?” Children's lived experiences after leaving shelters for battered women

Children and Youth Services Review, 2020, vol. 108, issue C

Abstract: Shelters for battered women (SBW) are one of the main resources protecting battered women and their children from immediate threat, but the time the women can spend at the SBW is limited. Women and their children must leave the shelter when circumstances make it possible and rebuild their lives outside of it. To date, there has been a dearth of research examining how children perceive the transition from the SBW to the community and rebuild new personal and family routines.
