Mom Power: A Parenting Group Intervention for Mothers with Trauma Histories

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Motherhood in the Face of Trauma

Part of the book series: Integrating Psychiatry and Primary Care ((IPPC))

Abstract

Unresolved trauma and mental health problems have significant effects on parenting quality and child outcomes, thus, there is a critical need for targeted, preventive interventions for mothers with experiences of trauma and psychopathology. This chapter describes the Mom Power program, a time-limited, attachment-based, parenting and self-care group intervention for mothers with histories of trauma. In this chapter, we discuss the theoretical underpinnings and conceptual framework for this intervention, describe the intervention itself and evidence for effectiveness, and conclude with a case vignette.
