We are aware that for many families child to parent violence is a significant issue and we know this to be a particularly difficult aspect to manage within family life.

Child to parent violence is any behaviour used by a young person to control, dominate or coerce their parents. It can be intended to threaten and intimidate and can put family safety at risk.

Whilst it is normal for adolescents to demonstrate healthy anger, conflict and frustration drawing their transition from childhood to adulthood, anger should not be confused with violence. Violence is about a range of behaviours including non-physical acts aimed at achieving ongoing control over another person by instilling fear.

In this webinar, which lasts for around two hours, we acknowledge the challenges together and look at ways of managing, living with and reducing aggression within the family home.

This webinar is free of charge for Adoption Matters families, Foster Care Matters families and Regional Adoption Agency (RAA) families who are currently receiving support from the Centre for Fostering & Adoption Support (CFAS).

If you’re not connected to Adoption Matters, Foster Care Matters or CFAS, then you can still attend our webinars but at a cost of just £5 per person.

We offer closed captioning on our webinars to provide a live transcript of what is being said – if you would like to have this activated, then please do contact us at the point of booking so that the facilitator is aware.
