A short training focusing on the pattern of behaviours used by perpetrators of FDV to dominate, isolate, and intimidate victims.

This training shines a light on the often subtle, yet deeply damaging, tactics of control that underpin perpetrator abusive behaviours.

Through real-life scenarios, discussions, and reflections, participants explore how coercive control operates, why it is hard to recognise, and how it may be experienced. Participants will learn to identify red flags, understand the impact on victims and consider safe, supportive ways to respond.
