Thank you for your participation in this study.

This research study aims to explore the relationship between family interactions and dynamics, reaction styles and aggressive / violent behaviour directed at parents/carers. Understanding how family dynamics may be associated with how we react to situations and how we interact with certain family members will help identify and devise appropriate support for individuals and families in need of such support.

We would like to reassure you that all data submitted is confidential and anonymous.

If any topic areas or questions in the questionnaire have caused you any upset or distress, contact details of relevant organisations and professionals that can provide support are listed below.
