Finding Strength, Hope, and Community After Estrangement

At PLACE (Parents Living After Child Estrangement), we understand the profound pain, uncertainty, and isolation that estrangement brings. The endless cycle of unanswered questions, the heartache of broken connections, and the weight of loss can feel overwhelming. But you are not alone. Founded by Brian Briscoe, a dually-licensed counselor with extensive experience in mental health, addiction recovery, and trauma work, PLACE is more than just a support program—it is a community, a movement, and a beacon of hope for parents seeking understanding and healing.

We believe that healing is not only possible but within reach—not through blame or resentment, but through self-reflection, personal growth, and meaningful support. Here, you will find a safe, judgment-free space where no one is labeled as “toxic.” Our approach is rooted in authentic conversations, actionable solutions, and emotional resilience. Whether through therapy, coaching, peer support groups, or valuable resources, PLACE provides a structured yet compassionate path to regaining clarity, peace, and strength.

No parent should have to endure estrangement in isolation. PLACE is here to walk beside you, offering guidance, connection, and a way forward. Healing starts here.
