Popis:	This qualitative study explores the perceptions of Latino and Latina adolescent survivors of parental intimate partner violence (IPV) who participated in mutual-aid groups. Two focus groups were conducted. Data were analyzed utilizing a grounded theory approach. Five conceptual themes arose including: (a) feelings about the parental intimate partner violence; (b) reflections about group activities that helped them cope with the violence at home; (c) the role of the group in enabling a safe home away from home; (d) the impact of the Latino culture on adolescent survivors of parental IPV and (e) adolescent post-group experiences. Findings indicated that overall the group experience was overwhelmingly positive. It helped the adolescents decrease feelings of depression, isolation, improved self-esteem and was empowering. Implications for social workers include utilization of mutual aid groups with Latino/a adolescent survivors of parental IPV.Keywords: mutual-aid groups, domestic violence groups, Latino and Latina adolescents, survivors of parental intimate partner violence, undocumented immigrants, resilience theory; groupwork; group work
