The Objectives of PEMALIK

To create an awareness by exposing related problems of the alienated parent and children to the forefront through the mass-media and forums. Others include networking with other similar bodies and government agencies. Our goal will be to increase awareness on the traumatic effects that children and the alienated parent faces through group discussions and counseling.

The Aims of PEMALIK

To highlight any form of parental alienation as a child abuse. The victims are not only the deprived children but also their parent. Typically the effects of this alienation are mental trauma, deterioration in studies, lack of interest in social and physical activities and parents losing self esteem.

The Seriousness

When parental alienation occurs, children are often faced with mental distress as they are not able to express their true intentions to the dominant parent. These children usually suffer emotional and psychological trauma, which are unnoticed. In the long run, their development are affected.
