Sibling Abuse is something we hear about far more often than people might realise, especially from those we support at PEGS. Back in December, we were really encouraged to see sibling abuse acknowledged in the newly released VAWG strategy. #SiblingsMatter #CPA #FormsofAbuse

We’ve been using CPA (Child to Parent Abuse) since launching our services in 2020. To ensure we were reflecting the voices of those most impacted , we asked PEGS’ parents the same question... and over 90% said CPA is the term they prefer.

Are you curious to find out more about PEGS as a professional? Want to understand our referral pathways? Or perhaps you’ve spotted an opportunity to collaborate with us this year? Why not join us on Monday 12th at 10am for our free information session? www.eventbrite.com/e/pegs-profe...

These are just some of the experiences that parental figures have bravely shared with us, this is why raising awareness of CPA matters so much. It’s not just about recognising the behaviours, but about ensuring families have access to the trauma informed support they deserve.

If you’re a professional working within and supporting families across Shropshire, we currently have a small number of fully funded places left on our upcoming training! If this sounds like it could be helpful for you please visit the link below to sign up: www.eventbrite.com/o/parental-e...

Just as with any form of domestic abuse, Child to Parent Abuse (CPA) can have a significant impact on other children in the home regardless of their relationship to the child displaying the behaviours.

Our Vision A world where: Child to Parent Abuse is empathetically and effectively responded to by professionals. Parents are listened to, believed and empowered. Organisations develop best-practice, policies and upskill front-line staff.

Reaching out for support can be a step toward breathing again, not just surviving. If this feels familiar, please know you’re not alone. What you’re experiencing can be heavy, but we are always here for you💜

A huge thank you to PCrefurb!💜 We’re delighted to share that PCrefurb have generously provided us with IT equipment, helping us in the way we deliver our services and reach even more families in need with our expanding team. #SupportParents #ChildToParentAbuse #DigitalSupport #ThankYou

Today is Day 15 of the 16 Days of Activism! Last week we asked the PEGS team “What does the 16 Days of Activism mean to you?” It started some really thoughtful conversations and a moment to pause and reflect. What does the 16 Days of Activism mean to you?

We would like to wish The National Lottery Community Fund a very happy birthday! The National Lottery has supported PEGS from the very beginning, helping us to continue providing free services for parental figures and those affected by CPA. #BecauseOfYou #NationalLottery #MakingChangeTogether

Experts estimate that at least 3% of homes in the UK are impacted, that’s around 870,000 families. Many incidents of CPA go unreported. Parents may feel fear, shame or worry that they won’t be believed all of which can make reaching out for support feel impossible.

This often comes alongside coercive and controlling behaviours and gaslighting, which we hear about frequently at PEGS. For many parents, this form of abuse can be so intense that it damages family relationships, friendships and even marriages for some.

Hearing that our conference made such an impact really means much to us💜 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed, and helped make the day so powerful and memorable. We can’t wait to continue this journey together. Will you be joining us at our next conference? #TeamPEGS

PEGS belongs to the community of those we support💜

Just because we provide support for parental figures doesn’t mean we think children (of any age) don’t matter, because they absolutely do. Being a parent focused service simply means that parents can feel heard supported ensuring their voices are not lost while we work to support the whole family

Child to Parent Abuse is not always recognised or even considered as a form of abuse, yet the reality is CPA does exist and parents, carers and guardians are experiencing abusive behaviours from their child.

We get asked so many questions every day... We would love to hear about the work you’re doing to raise awareness and support parental figures. Get in touch and let’s share ideas on how to make a difference together💜 #Childtoparentabuse

Behind these words are real lives, real families and a need for greater awareness. When abusive behaviours make you miss shifts… when it forces you to resign from work… when it leaves you financially and emotionally impacted - it could be economic abuse. Who are you checking in with this weekend?

Whether they are 12, 22 or 42, that relationship doesn’t go away and neither does the love you hold for them. But when abusive behaviours are present, it can leave parents feeling isolated and unsure where to turn. Child to Parent Abuse isn’t limited to a particular age or stage of life. #CPA
