PEGS (Parental Education Growth Support)

THE AGENCY Parent Educational Growth Support (PEGS) was created in 2019 in response to a lack of support available for both parents experiencing Child to Parent Abuse, and professionals who are working with families where CPA has been identified or is suspected.

Founded by ‘experts by experience’, we aim to raise awareness, and give a platform for the voices of these currently unseen and unheard victims of abuse.

There are two main strands to our work: supporting parents, and training professionals.
