CPA Awareness Day – nearly here!

Since 2022, PEGS have been marking International CPA Awareness Day in October. In a busy field of awareness days it was surely time we had our turn, and PEGS have worked hard to make it a meaningful event of awareness raising as well as celebration of achievement. This year the day falls on Monday 14th October and the team have put together a virtual conference of renowned international speakers, bringing together researchers, policy makers, decision makers, frontline professionals and campaigners.

It is the first time professionals from across the globe will gather together to share updates, policies, research and education, alongside the team at PEGS.

The speaker line up is impressive and this will certainly be an interesting all day event. You can find out more information about the day, as well as booking your place, via the PEGS website.

CPA (child to parent abuse) is the term preferred by PEGS, but they include within this umbrella all the many harms that parents experience, whatever you choose to call it.

There are many other conferences coming up over the next weeks and months which will be of interest to those working with families experiencing child to parent violence and abuse. Head over to the Events page for more information about these opportunities.

CPA Awareness Day 2023

Last year the organisation PEGS organised the first CPA Awareness Day, to promote awareness and understanding of the issues, and to make more people aware that advice and help is available.

This year’s Awareness Day is just around the corner, October 14th being the proposed day, and provides a great opportunity once again to amplify voices and get the word out there.

Depending on where you work – or study – there will be different things that you can do, but here are some ideas that have worked for others:

  • Compose a message to go out through the day on social media
  • Host a coffee morning at your service
  • Invite the local press to cover the issue or to promote your work
  • Set up a stall with flyers and other materials – an ideal opportunity to chat to people who may not know anything!
  • Arrange for posters to go up in targeted places
  • Contact local politicians or commissioners
  • Write something for a professional or community newsletter
  • And share what you do – so that we can keep the momentum going even longer!

PEGS have a resource pack on their website with free to download posters and other materials if you need help in this way.
