The Professional Alliance for Child Centered Safety (PACCS) officially launched on September 10, 2025, as a practitioner-led network dedicated to advancing education, training and unified practice standards that prioritize the emotional, psychological and physical well-being of children. Built to serve clinicians, attorneys, evaluators, researchers and advocates, PACCS offers members exclusive resources, ongoing education and vital opportunities for collaboration, all grounded in child-first principles and evidence-based standards.
"What started as a personal mission has become a shared movement: the Professional Alliance for Child Centered Safety,” – Steven P. Lindenberg, Ph.D., founder of PACCS
"Now, almost 50 years into private practice and thousands of hours of sworn testimony in high-conflict custody disputes, I have inspired and led like-minded advocates in turning fulfillment of my vision for advocacy for, prevention of and healing of traumatized children and their dysfunctional family systems into a shared mission represented as the Professional Alliance for Child Centered Safety." said Steven P. Lindenberg, Ph.D., founder of PACCS.
