Viola's Visit To The Netherlands 2017
In October 2017, Viola Vaughan-Eden presented at the ISPCAN European Regional Conference
in The Hague on Non-Offending Mothers Parenting Their Sexually Abused Children.
Expanding on her doctoral research and clinical work, her session highlighted how non-offending mothers, often essential to their child's recovery, are frequently scrutinized following abuse disclosures. She addressed the impact of mothers's own trauma histories, cultural considerations in child sexual abuse cases, and strategies for engaging diverse families through culturally sensitive interventions.
Key takeaways focused on advancing research, improving clinical practice, and shaping child protection policy.
