REVISED CONTENT WITH A CALL TO ACTION Who we are: The silent suffering of parents abused by their adolescent is a serious and often hidden issue within families. Adolescent to Parent Abuse, internationally known as Child to Parent Violence is a complex family and public health problem. Stories from parents who are willing to speak about their abuse reveal the pain of victims who must by law care for their abuser. Abuse by teens in the home feels extremely violating as a youth steps out of their place in the natural family hierarchy. Understandably so, parents are often exhausted, carry deep grief as victims, feel shock and become isolated in shame and blame with nowhere to turn for understanding or help. Parents are not alone in their frustration and confusion associated with how to address Child to Parent Violence. Juvenile Justice Judges, State District Attorneys, Probation Officers, Child Welfare Case Managers and Law Enforcement Officers are often frustrated by who to turn to for professional services to intervene in this silent epidemic. Therefore, Breaking the Cycle Consulting offers an array of consultative, collaborative and experienced professional services to a variety of clientele affected by Child to Parent Violence. Our specialized approach takes into account the serious ongoing need for safety of each family member. We have extensive experience with the nuances of this particular family and community challenge and offer a haven of safety to address this highly stigmatized topic. What we do: Breaking the Cycle Family Program (bold) is conducted in a unique group setting within the juvenile justice probation and diversion program where families significantly reduce abuse and violence within the home. Parents and youth work together with trained facilitators through ten highly relational, psycho-educational sessions. Youth face their behaviors with weekly accountability and without minimizing, justifying or denying their disrespectful and abusive acts. Breaking the Cycle Family Coaching (bold) is a private option for parents that encourages exploration of each family's values and individuality and facilitates discovery of their own personalized parenting style that respects the uniqueness of each family member and acknowledges the special history of each family unit. Breaking the Cycle Training (bold) offers customized live and e-learning seminars, presentations, webinars and continued educational trainings for organizations. We are nationally recognized trainers in Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid and Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). Train the trainer course for the Breaking the Cycle Family Program is available upon request. Why we are the experts: We recognize that the relationship between a parent-child has a distinctiveness unlike those of intimate partners and requires a different approach.
