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

As a family lawyer you may think you have a good understanding of coercive control. But what if you don’t?

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.

This compelling 1-hour session goes beyond traditional domestic violence screening to provide actionable strategies for identifying and addressing coercive control in family law cases. 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
