To a child, divorce can feel like a war zone.
	When parents use children in the battle against each other, it can be a form of child abuse.

If you deal with children of split parents,
or are going through a divorce,
learn to recognize the signs of PAS.

We can help.

	What's suddenly going on?
	Parents (usually during or after divorce) caught up in the emotion of hatred for one another may target the ex-partner, their family and friends. When they use the children as weapons for their retaliation, this is a calculated crime of child abuse called Parental Alienation. Children have a right to love both parents and their families. They should never be used in divorce war, much less, expected to join in on the assault against the other parent. When this happens, children suffer severe emotional and psychological trauma that they may never recover from.

	MISSION
	To raise society consciousness about Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), to provide legal advocacy for and to develop and implement, on a collaborative basis where possible, a full range of solutions to the problem of PAS.
		GOALS
		1. To identify and increase knowledge, educate locally and nationally the public on PAS.
		2. To reduce the incidences of PAS by developing public policy initiatives and educating key stake holders about the problems in PAS identification.
		3. To reduce the incidence of re-introduction of known victims to PAS by developing more effective identification and intervention measures.
4. To align comprehensive, new prevention and intervention strategies with innovative treatment methodologies to enhance support of those suffering the ramifications of PAS.
