Coercive Control Webinars & Resources

Coercive Control Webinars & Resources

NGO Training for the Domestic and Family Violence Sector

During the statewide rollout of the Coercive Control Project face to face training, the facilitators from the Centre of Community Welfare Training listened to practitioners about what you would like to hear more about. After the success of our first free webinar, which attracted over 700 registrations and can be viewed below, CCWT was pleased to present, in partnership with DCJ, six more free targeted webinars in a series titled “Effective Intervention & Coercive Control.”

This new series of Coercive Control Webinars covers a whole range of coercively controlling behaviours and how to identify them, their impact on partners and children, and how to support victims. These webinars and the associated tailored documents alongside each have become a valuable ongoing resource to all staff who work with children, young people, and their families who have experienced any or all types of Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence, especially Coercive Control.

All webinars were recorded live, and are available below to be watched free of charge via this webpage, with downloadable resource material supporting each.
