Support Groups

Parental Alienation Support Systems (PASS Program). Zoom meetings are on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. EST and run every week at that time. (New meetings will be added in various time zones as needed.) While led by the Foundation, these meetings are meant to provide a space for those in the alienated community to speak up and have their voices heard. They are based on the philosophy that we are stronger together. The meetings will be run similarly to a 12-step meeting.The PASS Program consists of something I call the GRACE model:  Groups Recovery (Cultivating/providing a list of resources: mental health providers, attorneys specializing in PA, etc.)Awareness (Using the voice of the CPTSD Foundation to enhance the exposure of parental alienation and its modalities)Changing the System (Strategies to add Parental Alienation (or equivalent) to the DSM-5)Educating the Experts (Attorneys, court officials, physicians, pediatricians, GALs, caseworkers)Participants can register here: https://cptsdfoundation.org/parental-alienation/


This support group is  online  Tuesday & Thursday 8:30pm eastern, & Wednesday at 2:30pm eastern.The group is found to be supportive, positive & informative. They offer occasional other events : movie night, holiday support, court prep tips,  etc Also a monthly ‘friends & family’ meetings where loved ones can join to learn about PA and how to support targeted family. My friends and family found it helpful. https://www.facebook.com/groups/613079173368906/?ref=share
