Event Speakers
We, the adult survivors speaking at this conference, bring together a staggering 700+ years of lived experience in child psychological abuse related to parental alienation. Our collective journey embodies the struggles, resilience, and triumphs that have shaped us into the advocates we are today. As insiders with firsthand knowledge, and some of us as dedicated researchers, we offer a unique and credible perspective that few can match. Our stories are not just tales of survival, but testimonies to the profound impact of parental alienation on a child’s psyche. Through this conference, we aim to illuminate these hidden scars, educate the public, and bring much-needed awareness to the world. Join us in this mission to shed light on the realities we know too well, and help us drive the change needed to protect future generations from the horrors of psychological abuse.
