Beschreibung:
<jats:p>This paper first considers the impacts on children who have experienced domestic and family violence and consequential homelessness. This is followed by an account of an Australian qualitative research project, <jats:italic>Safe from the Start</jats:italic>, which was designed to identify and form a register of intervention activities and therapeutic play for affected young children aged up to six. The key finding of this innovative applied research, substantiated by the participatory evaluation, is that effective early intervention with such children can be conducted by non‐specialised workers and parents, given the right training and tools.</jats:p>
