Helping the Protective Parent Now!
A Facilitated Discussion to Develop Tools to Empower Protective Parents Seeking Custody of Their Children
Dear Friends,
On average, over 50% of non-abusive, protective parents are denied custody of their children when that custody is challenged by an abusive parent. Fighting the Family Court System to secure the needs of their children often leaves the protective parent financially ruined, emotionally exhausted, and mentally depleted. Children continue to be revictimized. While some great resources are available to help, more needs to be done--now.
We invite you join NCADV and the New York Foundling Vincent J. Fontana Center for Child Protection on Thursday, April 23rd for this important, one-day gathering to develop ideas for providing immediate assistance to protective parents seeking custody of their children.
Space is limited, so please register today!
Thank you, 
Rita Smith
NCADV Executive Director
