CPVA survey for professionals
open until 13 April 2026
Kia ora koutou
We’re calling on professionals across Aotearoa New Zealand to lend your voice to an issue that’s often hidden, misunderstood, and rarely talked about: Child to Parent Violence and Abuse (CPVA).
CPVA involves children (whether under 18 or adult children) using violence or abusive behaviour toward parents, caregivers, grandparents, or siblings. Families experiencing CPVA often feel isolated, ashamed, and unsure where to turn.
Your professional insights and experience can help change that.
We have a survey that we’d like you to complete please, to capture this. The survey is open until 13 April 2026. Details below.
