ACF launched this webinar series to further inform professionals about parental alienation and how it may be recognised, diagnosed and treated.
It is expected that many barristers, solicitors, mediators, psychologists, domestic abuse and child protection NGOs, politicians and other professionals who work with families will register to learn how to recognise this complex mix of child and young adult abuse, coercive control and domestic abuse.
This issue is now a very common predicament in family courts throughout Ireland and worldwide.
This event will give not only family law, social services and NGOs some expert education on this issue but also it may educate opponents of parental alienation.
It will give professionals an opportunity to recognise the difference between real parental alienation, estrangement and false allegations of parental alienation.
Victims are real victims of abuse and that this alienation is fundamentally child abuse.
