Our mission here is to bring AWARENESS to PARENTAL ALIENATION. Parental Alienation is a situation in which one parent/ or guardian uses strategies, sometimes referred to as brainwashing, alienating, or programming - to distance a child from the other parent. PA is an insidious syndrome, and we need to spread awareness to help children escape their abusers for this is a violent act of emotional abuse. The more awareness, the more the courts can't ignore it. 50/50 equal parenting is what is best for the children to know all parties that care about them. There aren't many programs that help the non-custodial parent. We have rights to visitation and civil rights to be able to parent the children we created. Without court and police evidence where a judge has deemed "unfit," this parent should still at least be allowed supervised visits. This is a team effort where we need to bring awareness of this issue and have early educators perform routine Aces tests and create a care team and have early intervention.

The Purpose of Parental Alienation Awareness
That making April Parental Alienation Awareness “is intended to increase knowledge and understanding of the problem, and to help parents, caregivers and social services providers, and judges to stop the abuse of innocent children caught in the crossfire of the people they love.”
Teachers are often on the frontlines when a contentious custody battle is taking place. Yet many educators and administrators do not know about parental alienation. Most educators do not know how to deal with court orders or being updated on changes. Fewer still are unaware of the damage that it can cause to students.
Types of Parental Alienation
Parental alienation can be classified by its severity, from mild to severe. Treatment will depend on the symptoms and severity.
Continued
Mild
Mild parental alienation is marked by a child who is resistant to visiting with the alienated parent but enjoys spending time with their parent once they are alone together.
Moderate
A child with moderate parental alienation will strongly resist any contact with the alienated parent and maintain resentment and opposition during their time with them.
Severe
In cases of severe parental alienation, the child may not only strongly resist any contact with the alienated parent but may also run away or hide to avoid having to visit with the targeted parent. Reunification therapy will not help the dynamic until the alienated child is separated with NO CONTACT with the Alienator for at least 90 days.
