Overview
Family violence is often misunderstood as a series of isolated incidents, but in reality, it follows deeply ingrained patterns of coercive control, entrapment, and harm.
This webinar will examine coercive control as a pervasive yet often unseen dynamic in family violence, shaping victims’ experiences through patterns of harm, that are both physically and non-physically perpetrated, and that result in primary victim entrapment. We will also look at the barriers that prevent victims from seeking support, the impact of systemic and sectoral discrimination and marginalisation, and the unintended ways systems can contribute to keeping people trapped in abuse. Importantly, we will highlight the resilience and strength of victims, challenging outdated assumptions and shifting towards a more informed, non-judgemental approach to support.
Whether you work directly with family violence or not, this webinar will enhance your ability to recognise risk, ask the right questions, and better support those who may be experiencing coercive control. By broadening our understanding of family violence beyond crisis intervention, we can play a vital role in early identification and intervention—helping to uncover where family violence may be occurring or likely to occur before it escalates.
