Workshop Abstract
Coercive Control in Rural and Remote Contexts: Unique Challenges and Intervention Strategies
Coercive control is a pervasive form of domestic abuse that extends far beyond physical violence. It involves a range of tactics used by a perpetrator to isolate, intimidate, and degrade their partner, leaving them feeling trapped and powerless. This presentation will examine the multifaceted complexities of coercive control within rural and remote families and communities. We will explore how factors unique to these communities can exacerbate the impact of coercive control and hinder access to support services. Finally, we will discuss innovative approaches and strategies specifically designed to support families in rural and remote areas, considering these communities' unique challenges and cultural sensitivities.
