Ending Coercive Control & Family Violence
Date: 23-24 October 2024
Location: Pan Pacific Perth, Whadjak Noongar Country WA & Online
Adopting a comprehensive response to reduce coercive control and violence
System responses to family violence are often based on physical violence and are incident-based, yet we know that coercive control is based on patterns of behaviour.
To keep women and children safe, urgent shifts and action is needed, at a system and practice level, to better understand and respond to gendered violence.
This two-day conference will provide an important platform to unite changemakers and collectively address how we can forge new pathways. We’ll focus on how to shift from incident-based responses and towards collaborative wrap-around approaches.
Connect with peers across frontline services, government, peak bodies, legal services, academia, and more to discuss the criminalisation of coercive control, whole-of-systems responses, and the prevention of violence.
Benefits of attending:
- Move away from incident-based responses & towards a lifespan approach to violence & coercive control
- Strengthen & frame how we talk about & assess coercive control in practice
- Re-think systems responses to family & domestic violence
- Ensure that practice reflects the current & emerging evidence base on coercive control
- Navigate interagency collaboration effectively
- Connect with culturally responsive practice & learn from First Nations & CALD perspectives, voices, lived experiences, & expertise
