Domestic violence Awareness-raising training doesn't change professional practice. Training on how domestic violence is bad for kids doesn't prevent victim blaming nor does it lead to sustainable, ethical, effective domestic abuse-informed PRACTICE behaviors & policies. For far too long governments & services have believed understanding what domestic violence & coercive control looks like will lead to better service outcomes. But what it has tangibly led to is professionals & systems looking at victims, asking them what is wrong with them, asking if THEY understand how bad abuse is for their kids, and asking them to jump through mandate hoops to prove they are a protective parent, while ignoring the person causing danger & harm in the home who is also a parent. This is the definition of insanity. It's a recipe for high costs, poor outcomes, inefficiency & employee turnover rates hovering at about 48% within social care services. Awareness raising doesn't equal practice change or effective, ethical practice. Awareness raising doesn't necessarily lead to outcomes where adult & child victims report increased safety, stability, satisfaction, self-determination & well-being from their contact with services & professionals. Stop equating Domestic violence awareness-raising training with competent, ethical, domestic violence-informed practice. They are NOT the same thing. Give people the language, tools, tech, steps, practice resources & behaviors to do effective practice when working with families where abuse is being perpetrated in the home. #safeandtogether #practicemodel #solutions #systemschange #concretetools #support #training #tech #tools #data

Most of us understand domestic violence, but there's a deeper, often hidden form of abuse—coercive control—that strips away independence, safety, and a sense of self. Coercive control isn't just physical violence. It’s a strategic pattern of behavior where abusers isolate, manipulate, and dominate their partner. It can look like: Isolating you from your support system Monitoring your every move Controlling your finances and decisions Gaslighting, name-calling, and lying Threatening pets or loved ones This kind of abuse slowly erodes a person's freedom, trapping them in a life of fear and confusion. It's hard to see, but it’s devastating—and it’s happening in homes across the world. This isn’t just a private issue—it’s a community issue. Let’s come together to break the cycle of abuse and advocate for change. 👉 Join the conversation: What more can we do to support survivors of coercive control? 👉 RSVP for my upcoming talk at NKY SHRM to learn how we can make a difference in the workplace. #CoerciveControl #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #WorkplaceSafety #NKYSHRM #BreakTheSilence
