This autumn will mark the very first Child to Parent Abuse Awareness Day. On Friday 14th October, we’d love you to join us in a nationwide push to raise awareness of CPA and to campaign for more support for the families this issue impacts.

How can you help?

Any action big or small will help us to make CPA Awareness Day a success – simply pick one (or more) of the following, and support PEGS in making a difference to parents whose lives are profoundly affected by CPA.

Host an event – a drop-in session, a coffee morning, the event can take any format you like. All we ask is that you let us know about it by emailing admin@pegsupport.com with the subject line 'CPA Awareness Day': if it’s a closed event then please just let us know the name of your organisation and what you’ll be doing. If it’s a public event, then we can share the time and location on our website to encourage more people to attend. Plus, we’ll send you a virtual pack of Awareness Day resources.

Share on social media – we’ll be using the hashtag #CPAAwarenessDay across social media, so do get involved and either create your own post or share some of ours.

And if you'd like a Facebook profile picture frame created for you to mark the day, please simply message us on our Facebook page and our Social Media Manager will be happy to help!

Have a conversation – there are many people out there who either haven’t heard of CPA, or know little about it. By having a conversation with a friend, family member or colleague, you’ve helped raise awareness. Simple, but effective.

Contact a professional – why not write to your local council leader to ask if their social care team has had CPA training yet? Or send a letter to your MP highlighting why CPA should be on their agenda going forward?

Thank you in advance for your support – and we look forward to you joining us to highlight CPA Awareness Day on 14th October!
