Join the Global Conversation on Parental Alienation 

8th International PASG Conference 2026 

Hosted by Parents Beyond Breakup – Australia’s leading experts in supporting separating families and preventing suicide in high-conflict situations. For the first time in the Southern Hemisphere, the world’s premier network on parental alienation – the Parental Alienation Study Group (PASG) – is coming to Perth, Western Australia  11–13 October 2026. Pan Pacific Hotel, Perth. 

Kick off with an evening reception on 11 October. Main conference starts 12 October – aligning with Parental Alienation Awareness Day in Australia and New Zealand.

This landmark event brings together academics, researchers, legal professionals, law enforcement, social workers, family violence specialists, suicide prevention experts, First Nations experts and uniquely,  a major stream of lived experience speakers and panels.   

For the first time, Asia-Pacific voices will shine, creating a diverse, inclusive program that bridges research, policy, practice, and real-family stories. Together, we’ll move beyond identifying harm to facilitating change, preventing harm, and shaping better frameworks for children and families affected by parental alienation – the targeted undermining of a child’s relationship with one parent by the other. 

Whether you’re a researcher, practitioner, advocate, or someone with personal experience, this is your chance to contribute, learn, network, and help drive meaningful reform.
