Ending Coercive Control & Family Violence

System responses to family violence are often based on physical violence and are incident-based, yet we know that coercive control is based on patterns of behaviour.

This conference will provide an important platform to unite changemakers and collectively address how we can forge new pathways. We’ll focus on how to shift from incident-based responses and towards collaborative wrap-around approaches.
