Families and caregivers facing aggression from children and adolescents often feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsure of where to turn. This groundbreaking clinical manual provides a comprehensive, neuroscience-informed approach to understanding and addressing Aggression Toward Family/Caregivers in Childhood and Adolescence (AFCCA). Written by Dr. Maude Champagne, RSW, MSW, PhD, with contributions from leading experts in neurodevelopmental disorders, trauma, and therapeutic interventions, this manual offers evidence-based strategies, real-life case studies, and practical tools for professionals.
Child-to-Parent violence (CPV) may generalise into other relationships later in life. Study participants showed CPV was positively associated with experience (i.e. as perpetrator or victim) of recent violence as an adult, including physical, sexual, and verbal violence, as well as intimidation, across a variety of contexts (home, work, transport, and licensed venues). These associations interacted with gender. CPV in adolescence may be an important secondary prevention target to interrupt the progression of violence across the lifespan.
This study examines the relationship between online addictive behaviors—specifically problematic internet use, gaming, and online gambling—and child-to-parent violence (CPV), a strong indicator of parental aggression. It also investigates how reactive and instrumental reasons for CPV serve as mediating mechanisms in this relationship.
This snapshot, published by Brisbane Youth Service, introduces the BYS Youth Domestic, Family, and Sexual Violence Practice Framework. The Framework will guide practice at BYS in supporting children and young people aged 12 to 25 who are impacted by domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) while experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Watch this ANROWS Conference video to hear directly from Dr Tessa Boyd-Caine, Elena Campbell and Dr Georgina Dimopoulos as they discuss how we build systems that recognise, respect and respond to young people’s lived experiences.
Technology-facilitated coercive control (TFCC) refers to (ex-)partner abuse enabled by digital technology. The review considers implications for research and practice, emphasising the need to adopt an intersectional lens and a framework that prioritises contextual factors, including the gendered nature and impact of TFCC.
In 2024 Al Coates was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study how other contexts, countries and cultures support families of care experienced children who are living with challenging, aggressive or violent behaviour. These are his findings.
Systems and structures designed to protect and support young people, specifically (in this paper) young women, are ironically the same systems that maintain gender disparity. Consequently, this has influenced the embodied identities of young women who experience and use violence. This paper draws on the narratives and experiences of 24 young women aged 13–18 who have experienced and used nonfatal violence. Their narratives chart the role of systemic oppression, community expectations, hierarchical group dynamics and identity formation in their experiences of violence. Findings centre on the experiences of young women, their words providing insight into motivators and drivers of female violence, which to date has been under-researched and often poorly understood.
A growing number of female teachers are noticing a troubling shift in classroom behavior — a rise in disrespect from male students. Dr Stephanie Wescott and teacher Simone Nguyen join the conversation to explore what’s behind this cultural shift and how educators can respond.
