So excited about your webinar. CA recently pass Piqui's law which requires 40hrs of DV training for family court professionals. I would love to see someone like YOU training those folks. I'm not sure how to make that happen, but I am very invested in family court professionals receiving adequate training on this subject (and I am concerned that somehow despite having a law requiring it, that it won't happen).

Hi Emma, Great piece and have shared your workshop link! FYI there's a small typo in Under Basic Myths section, point two - incapable rather than capable. xx

Would be great to do an info piece aimed at professionals in court/ss/Carcass - how to spot coercive control in child risk assessments?

Thanks so much Vickie, and thanks for the blog suggestion, I’ll definitely look to do something more on courts in the New Year.

Hi Emma, your work is just so detailed and on point, I share with all DV support workers I have come across. Is there a way to reach out and share my experience, particularly with post separation very hidden forms of CC?

I’m dealing with this right now and tackling a custody case for my children, in particular my daughter who is 8 years old and struggling. From what people are telling me the law is very much stacked in favour of the abuser. If you have ANY advice, or if there is anyway we can use my case to force the law to address and understand these issues, please message me.

Thank you for all your work.

The way that you summarize Coercive Control and the "benefits" it holds for men with certain belief patterns is so on target. I would like to draw more attention to the systemic CC of what we are allowed to say about the abuse & when: https://calloffthedogs.substack.com/p/dead-guy-speech-freedoms . Thank you!
