family based solutions
Enfield Middlesex
Family Based Solutions formerly known as PAARS (parent abuse and reconciliation
service) began as a result of three founders coming across parent abuse in their
role as secondary school support workers. It was apparent that the issue did not
fit the threshold for social care involvement and was not always dealt with by
the police in a way that was useful. The founders decided that they wanted to
try and support families so they started the charity. 2012 – NOW They began
their work in February 2012 with little more than a determination to support
families who had nowhere else to turn. When they started the project there were
only five organisations across the UK providing any child to parent abuse
intervention. The need for the service was unknown and the research and
literature on the issue was very scarce, as most of the support and research
came from the US and Australia.
