Coercive Control: How to Recognize, Respond, and Prevent Further Harm to Your Family Law Clients (Webinar)

Going beyond traditional domestic violence screening, this webinar equips legal professionals with actionable strategies for identifying and addressing coercive control in family law cases. Family lawyers play a critical role in shaping outcomes for victim-survivors of coercive control and post-separation abuse. Yet, without a deep understanding of these dynamics, even well-intentioned legal professionals can inadvertently enable harm.

Through real-life case studies, interactive discussions, and cutting-edge research, participants will gain practical tools to:

• Recognize coercive control and its impact on legal proceedings
• Avoid common legal missteps that can retraumatize victims
• Navigate power imbalances while maintaining professional neutrality
• Frame legal arguments that reflect the lived reality of victim-survivors
• Implement best practices to prevent abusers from weaponizing the legal system
