The research conducted through Hear ME shows the widescale impact of this type of abuse on mothers and families, as well as challenges with the current framework for support and interventions. It identifies the need for better responses, earlier effective intervention, specialist funding, more campaigning and publicity to raise awareness and visibility of this issue, but also the need for further research. The report makes recommendations at both a local and national level for practice and policy change; while the accompanying guidance provides practical steps and resources for practitioners, to support in improving the response for families experiencing adult child to parent abuse https://avaproject.org.uk/mothers-experiences-cpa/
