About: Child-to-Parent Abuse (CPA) is a hidden form of domestic abuse where children or adolescents use abusive behaviour to control or harm their parents. This often overlooked issue leaves many families struggling in silence due to stigma and fear of criminalising their child.
The CPA awareness training empowers professionals to identify, understand and respond effectively to CPA. It provides practical tools to support affected families, reduce barriers to help seeking, and foster safer family dynamics.
