Child to Parent Violence and Abuse (CPVA) encompasses a broad range of behaviours that children under the age of 18 display towards their parents/caregivers. The violence can also continue into adulthood. When responding to CPVA all forms of (non CPVA) family violence must first be screened
for. If (non CPVA) family violence is eliminated as a reason, other avenues can then be explored. The material in this report is predicated on the idea that (non CPVA)
family violence is not the cause of the child’s distress and discusses the many other issues that can be causative.
The first part of this report explores research on CPVA and discusses the assumptions, beliefs and discourses that exist.
The second part of this report examines what programmes and resources are being used to respond to CPVA internationally and explores whether these would be a
good fit for families living with neurodiversity. Included is information on some influential peer support groups which have emerged as a response to unmet need in
the community. Finally, this report looks at what general support and services are available to families in New Zealand, as currently there are no specific New Zealand
programmes to address CPVA. (From the document). Record #8888
