Parenting After Trauma: Addressing the Effects of PTSD on the Family
Thu, April 8, 1:10 to 2:40pm EDT (1:10 to 2:40pm EDT), VirtualSession Type: Paper Symposium
Abstract
Four researchers present studies investigating and addressing the effects of parental trauma on parent-child functioning among at-risk populations, including military fathers, veterans of color, and vulnerable mothers exposed to adversity. The first half of the symposium draws upon longitudinal research to highlight disparities in parental functioning and child outcomes that may arise in context of parental PTSD and identify how engagement in community organizations buffers the impact of PTSD on parenting. Findings highlight how particular PTSD symptom clusters differentially increase risk for negative child outcomes; however, greater engagement in community organizations may confer unique protective effects on parental functioning among parents of color. The second half of the symposium will present results of emerging evidence-based parenting interventions for veterans with PTSD and for mothers with interpersonal trauma living in underserved communities. Results suggest that treatments utilizing cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based approaches are effective and feasible across different trauma-exposed populations, leading to improvements in parental mental health, social support, and family functioning.
