Ending Coercive Control & Family Violence Conference WA
Embedding evidence-based, trauma-informed responses to keep women & children safe
This conference is designed to deepen our collective understanding of coercive control in all its forms. We’ll explore its insidious nature and devastating impacts on individuals, families, and communities, grasp the nuanced realities, and invest in our capacity to drive change and keep women and children safe.
Through lived experience, expert insight, and collaborative discussion, this summit will enhance practice responses which identify, respond to, and ultimately prevent coercive control. The program tackles critical areas such as legal frameworks, technological abuse, economic impact, and the distinct challenges faced by First Nations communities and children. We’ll also address the crucial need for systemic change and self-care for those working in this challenging field.
