Invisible Chains: From Domestic Violence to Coercive Control
Recorded on March 1st, 2023.
This webinar, intended for survivors, advocates, and allies, covers the following:
- The tactics of coercive control in intimate relationships.
- How coercive control shapes a victim/survivor’s behavior.
- How to improve your ability to detect and intervene in situations of coercive control and intimate partner abuse.
- How changes in the law can better protect women and children.
- How you can get involved.
Massachusetts has introduced two bills this session (HD 1844 and SD 1975) that would allow coercive control to be considered as a form of domestic abuse.
