“…Thus, while the EBPP is among one of the first culturally adapted interventions for African American families, that its evidence base has few sustained statistically significant findings is a notable program limitation. The Black Parenting Strengths and Strategies (BPSS) Program (Coard, 2003;Coard et al, 2007) is another culturally-relevant, strengths-based parenting program that was adapted from the Parenting the Strong-Willed Child Program (Forehand and Long, 1996) and designed to support African American caregivers. Leveraging the unique parenting strategies of the African American community (e.g., parental racial socialization) and the specific social, cultural, and political challenges that impact parenting in this community, the BPSS program focuses on strengthening parenting skills, involvement, and confidence to reduce children's behavioral and socioemotional problems (e.g., noncompliance, conduct disorders).…”

African American women are at disproportionate risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) and consistently report more severe and recurrent IPV victimization in comparison to their White and Hispanic counterparts. IPV is more likely to occur in families with children than in couples without children. Parenting in the wake of IPV is a challenging reality faced by many African American women in the United States. Despite the urgent need to support mothers who have survived IPV, there is currently no culturally adapted parenting intervention for African American mothers following exposure to IPV. The aim of this review is to summarize and integrate two disparate literatures, hitherto unintegrated; namely the literature base on parenting interventions for women and children exposed to IPV and the literature base on parenting interventions through the lens of African American racial and cultural factors. Our review identified 7 questions that researchers may consider in adapting IPV parenting interventions for African American women and children. These questions are discussed as a possible roadmap for the adaptation of more culturally sensitive IPV parenting programs.

“…Researchers in this field can also ask additional questions, including: What are the implications for clinical practice and public policy of understanding how experiences of racism affect functioning, socialization goals, and attachment relationships (Gaztambide, 2022)? When working with Black families, attachment-focused practitioners should draw on insights from successful parenting interventions (e.g., Brody et al, 2004;Coard et al, 2007Coard et al, , 2021, clinical practice (Tadros et al, 2021), and public policies (e.g., Barbarin et al, 2016;Gaylord-Harden et al, 2018) designed to support Black children, adolescents, and families. Beyond the cultural strengths highlighted here, attachment researchers can consider the role of other resilience factors in Black families, such as optimism, community socialization, verve, future orientation, and diverse forms of kinship support (forms of ordinary magic; Murry et al, 2018).…”

Within a sociohistorical context of racism‐related physical and emotional threats, Black families in the United States have developed sources of resilience to promote children's safety and positive development. Yet research on Black family resilience has rarely been integrated into one of the most influential theories of child development: attachment theory. In this article, we propose specific ways that attachment scholars can learn from research on Black family resilience to enrich models of parent–child relationships, focusing on three sources of resilience: culturally specific parental protections (e.g., “The Talk,” preparation for bias), extended caregiving networks (e.g., natural mentors, fictive kin, spiritual community), and racial‐ethnic identity development (e.g., racial pride messages to protect against social denigration). We argue that including insights from research on the resilience of Black children and families in the face of racism‐related threats across generations can substantially advance current understanding of caregiving, attachment, and positive child development in context.

Historical and Race-Based Trauma: Resilience Through Family and Community

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Historical and race-based trauma (HRBT) is a cross-cutting, intergenerational source of adversity that rarely is included in categories of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Unlike ACEs, HRBT is adversity that is embedded intersubjectively in family, kinship networks, and community as well as in society; that is, its negative impacts are systemic, as are the intergenerational resilience strategies families and communities develop to counter trauma. Racial socialization is one such strategy used to build resilience and coping skills necessary to thrive in a culture of implicit and explicit racism, and when reconceptualized as a systemic process, also contributes to effective resistance against institutional racism. Articles in this special issue illustrate the importance of positive parenting practices, family dynamics, kinship networks, community, and Indigenous Theory through the narrative voices of formerly incarcerated women, refugees, immigrants, Indigenous people, and first-generation Latinx students.
