Are you a primary responder to domestic and family violence, or do you otherwise work directly with families?
Do you want to build your understanding of coercive control, so you can better assist the people you support through your professional practice?
Is it hard for you to find the time for in-person professional development?
Our “Understanding Coercive Control” online training course could be just what you need.
Coercive control might be more challenging to recognise than physical violence, but it can be just as dangerous to those subjected to it. As a professional practitioner who works directly with families, an understanding of the nature and impact of coercive control, along with the ability to recognise and respond to it, is critical to promoting the safety and wellbeing of your clients.
Through this evidence-based, interactive online learning module, you will develop the knowledge and skills you need to support clients who are being subjected to this dangerous pattern of controlling behaviour.
