A Michigan social enterprise offering free, private trauma assessment and healing tools for the people the usual systems leave behind. Parental alienation is its catalyst and enduring focus, and The Wholeness Path is its first platform.
All of C.U.R.E.'s public-facing resources in one place — whether you're here for yourself, for your community, or for the institution you lead.
The original ACE study — the backbone of modern trauma research — does not include parental alienation as a named category. That silence has cost survivors their language for what happened to them. C.U.R.E. is among the first platforms to explicitly assess and address this wound, with dedicated questions and healing resources built specifically for those who have experienced it — as children, and as targeted parents.
Martin Casares III is a licensed journeyman plumber born at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and raised in the city's 48210, now based in Dearborn since 2010, and the founder of C.U.R.E. LLC — a targeted parent who spent three years in Wayne County's Third Circuit Court fighting for his two children. He won sole custody in 2016. He established C.U.R.E. the following year — not in victory, but in clarity about what legal victory cannot accomplish on its own.
The alienation came first, before he ever picked up the tools. He started his apprenticeship in 2011 and spent the years that followed on the jobsite, carrying what he could not say out loud, beside men and women doing the same. C.U.R.E. began with the wound he knew first, parental alienation. It grew to reach the crew he works beside every day. Different rooms, one conviction: help that asks nothing of you, and never gets written down.
