This article reviews the literature on trauma- and grief-informed interventions implemented for children and youth in bereavement due to intrafamilial homicide.
The nature of intrafamilial homicide is complex and traumatic. Child survivors are at significant risk for maladjustment, including negative psychological sequela, grief complications, and contextual challenges associated with the homicide. Thus, children may benefit from services that address specific psychosocial challenges following intrafamilial homicide. Given limited research on this vulnerable population, this article reviews the literature on interventions that show promise for child survivors, exploring specific needs, challenges, and potential implications of these interventions for treating children and families experiencing intrafamilial homicide bereavement.
