Our Work

Advocacy

In the halls of the United States Congress, our voices echo with the urgency of statistics. One in four women and one in seven men experience severe physical violence by an intimate partner, with psychological abuse often lurking in the shadows, unseen but deeply felt. Yet for every statistic, there is a story of resilience, of courage, and of hope. And it is within these stories that the true power of our advocacy lies.

We champion legislation that not only protects victims but also prevents abuse from taking root. We push for comprehensive domestic violence policies and fight for funding vital support services.

Our advocacy knows no borders. We stand as staunch proponents of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, tirelessly advocating for policies that prioritize the wellbeing of children and families, regardless of nationality or circumstance.

So, from Main Street to your street in communities around the globe, we raise our voices in unison, fueled by the belief that every healthy family deserves to live free from fear, harm, and flourish.

Abuse Prevention Programs

We are fiercely dedicated to breaking the chains of family dynamic abuse within families through advocacy, education, and community engagement. By equipping individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools to recognize and address abuse, it’s our goal to prevent this form of harm.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of our strategy. Together, we can build a future where the well-being of children is prioritized and the bonds between parents, grandparents, children and family members are preserved.

Trauma-Informed Support Services

We are unwavering in our commitment to providing direction to families navigating the profound challenges of trauma in court and psychological, emotional, and systemic abuse. Through compassionate guidance, evidence-based interventions, and deep respect for individual experiences, we strive to help guide individuals toward where families can best heal, thrive and reclaim their dignity. 

Our comprehensive approach, which includes counseling, advocacy, access to court and legislative resources, and vital resources, addresses the complex layers of trauma. This approach fosters resilience and restoration, standing shoulder to shoulder with survivors as they embark on their journey toward healing, wholeness, and restoration of family bonds.

Networking & Partnerships

Our approach is to forge meaningful partnerships and collaborations with like-minded organizations and institutions worldwide. We believe that your role in this mission is crucial, as we pool resources, expertise, and innovation to create impactful solutions. 

By cultivating a diverse network of partnerships with universities, mental health organizations, government agencies, for profit and not for profit organizations and NGOs, we strengthen our collective effort against abuse. Through collaboration, we advocate for preserving family bonds, recognizing the importance of empathy and compassion in our work.

The Family Preservation Alliance works closely with the STAR Network™, a foundation committed to raising global awareness and providing treatment for individuals whose emotional reality has been distorted by narcissistic abuse. STAR Network’s mission is to support men, women, the LGBTQ+ community, tweens and teens, families, alienated parents, workers, and caregivers navigating or recovering from Toxic Abuse Relationships (TAR). Through partnerships with subject matter experts, affiliate organizations, and our dedicated donor community, the Family Preservation Alliance and STAR Network Foundation offer programs designed to guide you out of the fog of abuse and into the light of healing.

The Family Preservation Alliance is deeply concerned about the urgent mental health crisis facing both the United States and the world. Among the organizations leading the way in addressing this challenge, we are proud to highlight the extraordinary efforts of Bring Change to Mind (BC2M), Promly, and The Kennedy Forum—three trailblazing initiatives reshaping how we understand, talk about, and respond to mental health.

Mental illness affects one in four people at some point in their lives. Yet, despite the availability of effective treatments, more than half of those struggling never seek help—largely because of stigma. This silence and misunderstanding deny millions the opportunity to lead full, successful lives.

Bring Change to Mind (BC2M), founded in 2010 by acclaimed actress Glenn Close, has become a national leader in dismantling stigma and normalizing conversations about mental health. By harnessing the power of media and celebrity voices, BC2M has sparked dialogue across the country through impactful Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and evidence-based peer-to-peer programs in high schools and universities. Their initiatives have touched more than 2 billion people and directly engaged over 80,000 students, inspiring a cultural shift toward openness, compassion, and understanding.

Promly, founded by Dr. Jennifer Libby, builds on this momentum with a bold, youth-driven approach. Promly integrates mental health support, community, and technology into an accessible platform designed specifically for Gen Z. By giving young people tools to connect, access resources, and find belonging, Promly empowers them to proactively address mental health challenges and reduce the isolation that too often contributes to crisis. Their innovation ensures that solutions are not only effective but also meet young people where they are.

The Kennedy Forum, founded by former U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy, advances a national dialogue on mental health and addiction policy. By championing parity, equity, and integration of mental health into overall health care, The Kennedy Forum works at the highest levels of government, business, and society to drive systemic change. Their leadership has elevated mental health to a central policy priority, building momentum for legislative reform and international cooperation.

Together, Bring Change to Mind, Promly, and The Kennedy Forum exemplify the resilience, innovation, and compassion needed to confront the global mental health crisis. Their complementary missions—BC2M breaking stigma through storytelling and advocacy, Promly empowering youth with technology-driven connection, and The Kennedy Forum driving policy reform and systemic change—offer a powerful, united model of hope for the future.

The Family Preservation Alliance proudly stands with these organizations in the fight to end stigma, strengthen families, and build a healthier, more compassionate world.
