Podcast: Dr. Jeffrey Edleson: Domestic Violence in the Lives of Children

Dr. Jeffrey Edleson of the University of Minnesota has been interviewed in a two part podcast series called Living Proof on the topic of domestic violence in the lives of children. 

The Living Proof series is produced bi-weekly by the University at Buffalo School of Social Work in New York. The purpose of this series is to engage practitioners and researchers in lifelong learning and to promote research to practice, practice to research. Living Proof features conversations with prominent social work professionals, interviews with cutting-edge researchers, and information on emerging trends and best practices in the field of social work.

 Dr Edleson is well known for his research on adult domestic violence, particularly how it affects children in the home. In the first installment of this two part discussion on Living Proof, Dr. Edleson describes his work and that of his colleagues over the past two decades in their efforts to study, raise awareness of, and change both policies and practices focused on children exposed to domestic violence.

In Part Two, Dr Edleson concludes his discussion by interpreting longitudinal research related to the impact of early exposure to violence and risk factors influencing future experience with violence. He explains the "comprehensive community response" to children who are exposed to DV and the potential protective factors that can be utilized in communities.
