Probably one of the most effective things that you can do is write to a law maker or government official. Not enough people do this but it can have some positive results. It may be too late for our daughter but there are many more children who will have to go through this. please take a brief moment to do this one little thing that can do a great deal of good:

From: http://www.paawareness.org/
Great idea for schools. Here is an excellent letter you can use to approach your local schools:

Dear Superintendents, Teachers, and Counselors,

It is time we pull together and implement prevention intervention programs for our students concerning divorce and custody. Statistics show that 25% or more children of divorce will suffer emotional trauma as a result of their parents’ actions. 

Two audio resources may help you understand the intensity of this problem. 

  • http://www.blogtalkradio.com/search/dr-sol-goldstein/ ( Choose one titled: Family)
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQIXAjC_v50 (Dr. Jane Major…)

Presenting problems for children involved in high conflict divorces may include, but are not limited to: aggression, depression, attention deficit disorder, poor academic performance, bullying, and oppositional defiance disorder. Many of these same children, due to their pathology, become labeled as a result, when, in fact, the pathology is not the children’s but that of their parents. 

Studies also show that parents are more apt to attend counseling sessions in the schools before agreeing to outside services. This means that we, as school personnel, can help the students if we step up to the plate and offer services to the family unit. 

At this time, school counselors are not required to take courses in family counseling, but that does not prevent school counseling majors from adding family counseling to their knowledge base. Acquiring family counseling skills, as well as an in-depth understanding of the emotional abuse that occurs in children, will allow counselors to assist parents in restructuring their behavior for the sake of their children. 

As a counseling student, advocate for children, and a parent with life experience concerning this issue, I suggest the following actions to start:

  • Watch and listen to the two audios above
  • Read Dr. Amy Baker’s article, “Working with alienated children and their targeted parents : Suggestions for sound practices for mental health professionals”
  • Obtain a copy of the DVD “ Welcome Back Pluto,” by Dr. Richard Warshak
  • Read the article: “An evaluation of the efficacy of a preventive intervention for 4th-6th grade urban children of divorce , “ by Pedro, Alpert-Gillis & Cowen

Leaving no child behind means stepping up to the plate and facing the problems children are experiencing in order to help them heal and providing programs to prevent deep emotional scarring. Children can not help themselves and you will not help them unless you address the issues with their parents concerning divorce and custody. 

Please e-mail me at (your email) for the aforementioned articles and additional resources. 

Sincerely,


Your name.




Sample Letter to a Mayor

[Insert Date]

Dear Mayor [Insert Mayor's Full Name]     

I hope this letter finds you well.

April 25, 2013 is the 7th annual Parental Alienation Awareness Day and Bubbles of Love Day.  This day is celebrated around the globe to spread the simple message that children need to and should be allowed to give and receive the LOVE of both of their parents and extended families.

On April 25th at 12:00 noon, people all around the globe will blow bubbles for 10 minutes to spread this simple yet important message that "Love is the answer" for all children.  It is an entirely fun and completely positive way that all ages can enjoy and participate in sharing this message.

Mayors and Governors all over the country are proclaiming April 25 2013 as "Parental Alienation Awareness Day." Recently, Governor Nathan Deal of the state of Georgia was asked if he would join 17 other states who have previously signed a proclamation.  Governor Deal took it a step further and signed a proclamation naming the entire WEEK of April 21 - 28, 2013 Parental Alienation Awareness Week in Georgia!  Go to Proclamation News

Bubbles of LOVE Day events are great for communities and receives positive attention as mayors, city council members, educators and business leaders usually participate in the event by blowing bubbles.  After all, everyone can agree that "Love is the answer" and everyone has fun blowing bubbles! The fun and simplicity of the event is what makes it wonderful for people of all ages and every community around the globe!

Please take a moment to watch this very touching video from last year's Parental Alienation Awareness Day.

We couldn't have done it without the support of caring mayors in our communities!

Mayor [Insert Mayor's Last Name], will you please sign a proclamation declaring April 25, 2013 "Parental Alienation Awareness and Bubbles of LOVE Day" in your city?  I sincerely hope you will join the city of [Insert City(s) or State(s) that has already signed proclamation] and say YES!

I look forward to hearing from you.  I have attached a proclamation from another city for your review and reference. Please don't hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at 555-555-5555 or via email.  It would be my pleasure and honor to speak or meet with you anytime if you would like.
