Our Story:
Founded
Founded in the state of Connecticut, PASI understands and acknowledges the trauma parents and children have gone thru and the bravery it takes to pick up the phone or email asking for help. We respect and provide relentless support and believe in the importance that all healthy parents must be a beacon of hope for their children and be the healthy parent to support their children.
Founded in July 1996, by Joan Kloth-Zanard, PASI was officially established as a 501c3 non-profit on June 21, 2011. We have over 50 chapters around the world. PASI strives to prevent and intervene in positive ways to stop the destruction of parent-child relationships that are being perpetrated by the other parent, extended family member or an agency. When a person or agency interferes with a healthy parent-child bond, they are actually using psychological abuse. We provide 24/7 crisis management.
Our focus is to prevent and intervene in the snowball effect of this type of hostile and aggressive parenting that leads to psychological and systemic abuse. A major part of this
organization's work involves online support groups that have been running since 2000 for mothers, fathers, grandparents and family members whose relationship with their children is or has been impeded. PASI provides FREE services.
The founder and executive board members have personally experienced the silent epidemic that they each felt must be acknowledged which are affecting mothers and fathers. They saw the problem of abuse they were dealing with daily needed to be addressed.
Current research indicates over 22 million adults have been targets of parental blocked access of children in the United States. An estimated 10 million adults have experienced what they perceive to be severe trauma from their children. Even so, the clinical problem of parental psychological abuse has been underreported and underappreciated in the public at large. It is a silent epidemic that is destroying and impacting our nation. PASI was started to help all genders and children of all races, colors, creeds, nationalities, from all economic levels to put an end to this abuse in the United States and internationally.
PAS Intervention (PASI) Mission
PAS Intervention (PASI) leads the global movement to criminalize psychological abuse in all its forms—parental alienation, custodial interference, coercive control, institutional abuse, and systemic manipulation—as prosecutable acts of violence against humanity. We champion the peer-reviewed science that proves these behaviors cause profound and lasting harm to children, parents, families, and communities. We stand on the foundational truth that the family bond—the relationship between a child and each loving parent—is sacred, and that its deliberate destruction is among the gravest harms that can be inflicted on a human being.
We actively protect and defend the researchers, clinicians, evaluators, and expert witnesses whose evidence-based work identifies and intervenes in psychological abuse—professionals who face retaliation, professional attacks, frivolous litigation, licensing complaints, and coordinated campaigns designed to silence them. We recognize that the attack on experts is an attack on victims—and ultimately an attack on families—because when the professionals who tell the truth are destroyed, abusers operate with impunity and families are denied the intervention that could restore them.
We confront the organized misinformation, junk science, and manufactured doubt that deny the existence of psychological abuse and seek to discredit the established body of peer-reviewed research. We counter false narratives with documented, evidence-based truth and hold accountable those who weaponize misinformation against families, professionals, and the courts. Every family fractured by unchecked psychological abuse represents a failure of the systems entrusted to protect them.
We support laws that protect all victims, advocate for systemic reform in every jurisdiction, and promote family preservation, reunification, and healing as central objectives of every court, agency, and institution that touches the lives of children. We work to build a world where no child is torn from a loving parent, no parent is erased from their child's life, no family is shattered by abuse disguised as protection, no individual is subjected to coercive psychological control, no expert is destroyed for telling the truth, and no abuser escapes accountability. Because every child deserves both parents, every family deserves justice, and every bond broken by abuse deserves the chance to heal.
