Uncovering Another Secret: Child-to-Caregiver Violence

Child-to-caregiver violence (CCV) is a growing but often overlooked form of family violence. Many professionals struggle to safely and effectively intervene with aggressive children, overwhelmed caregivers, and systems designed for other types of abuse. This training introduces two key strategies for addressing CCV.

First, participants will learn to screen for CCV using the validated Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire (CPV-Q-P), which helps ensure safety and reduces bias—especially against marginalized youth. Second, the training outlines a six-stage treatment framework based on Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy (ESFT). This model supports caregivers in restoring safety, repairing attachment, and building functional, nurturing family structures. Clinical video examples and discussion will help professionals apply these strategies to their specific roles.
