Abstract: Mothers of adolescents in residential treatment (RT) experience the highest rates of intimate partner violence (IPV; emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse by a partner or ex-partner) in the child welfare system. Few studies have investigated the intersection of IPV and parenting in the context of RT. The purpose of this study was to: a) to understand how mothers’ past trauma experiences (i.e. IPV) influence their caregiving, well-being, and relationships with adolescents in RT; b) to explore supportive services mothers need to enhance their well-being before, during, and after their adolescent was in RT.
