An October issue of Closer picked up on an EastEnders storyline that focused on Child and Adolescent-to-Parent Violence and Abuse (or CAPVA). The magazine also featured ‘Gemma’, a brave mum who shared her experience of CAPVA and how she turned things around with the support of our Respect Young People’s Programme.

Regrettably, CAPVA is largely unreported in the mainstream media. So, a big round of applause to Eastenders for shining a much-needed spotlight on the issue. And, of course, to Closer for covering the storyline, allowing Gemma to share her story and highlighting our work.

The more people are aware that support is available for CAPVA, the more we can collectively work towards a solution.
