Description
Turning Point are pleased to announce our October webinar for the Connect & Learn series, Substance use and Family Violence: Identifying and understanding substance use Coercion for AOD clinicians.Through an exploration of substance use coercion, this webinar will provide participants with an understanding of how the presence of substances within an intimate relationship may co-exist with behaviours associated with a broader pattern of power and control found within Intimate Partner Violence.
Coercion is seen as the use of force or manipulation to control and intimidate partner's thoughts, actions and behaviours through violence, threats, degradation, isolation, and/or surveillance. In the context of intimate partner violence, coercion can involve financial, psychological, physical and other kinds of abuse to undermine and control an intimate partner, including intentionally undermining their partner's treatment and recovery.
This event will cover:
- Understanding of how coercive behaviours manifest and may appear within the clinical setting
- Identify and also respond and mitigate risks through approaches and frameworks, including MARAM.
