Domestic Abuse Education/Guest Speaker/M.A. Forensic Psychology/Survivor Educating and raising awareness about domestic abuse is my passion! Raising awareness on coercive control & terminology to change perceptions!!
In complete agreeance! States are starting to move toward laws against coercive control but some other countries have already criminalized it! In the US it is referred to as domestic VIOLENCE. That word alone is synonymous with physical. Domestic ABUSE is so much more than what the US criminalizes…physical abuse. Coercive control is dangerous! Coercive control can linger after the survivor leaves the relationship as post-separation abuse. Coercive control can linger for a lifetime for survivors. If damaging a survivor psychologically and taking away the survivors personal liberties and human rights isn’t criminal, we need to rethink a lot of things!! The reason why I am in community education. I work for a progressive and phenomenal agency, which supports me in creating presentations. I created a coercive control presentation and presented it for the first time this past week! I honestly cannot be more proud of the end result and it received very positive feedback from the attendees!!! #coercivecontrol #communityeducation
Until coercive control and its impact is fully understood by all those working with survivors of domestic abuse, survivors of domestic abuse will keep on being failed and let down by the system that is supposed to support them and keep them safe. #CoerciveControl #Impact #Awareness #Training #Police #DWP #NHS #SocialWorkers #Housing #Probation #Prison
