Welcome
We are excited to take you through this online training series to help you understand how coercive control occurs within immigrant family systems. This is part 1 of our series of courses on coercive control.
| What can I expect? | By the end of this course, you will be able to apply your understanding of coercive control to help you recognize the unique situations of the immigrant families you work with. |
| Who it is for? | It’s aimed at service providers e.g., social workers, counsellors, health care workers, etc. |
| What do I need to know? | In the first course, we explored the dynamics of family systems in immigrant communities. We recommend that you complete this course before proceeding further. |
| How much time will it take? | Plan for 2-3 hours in total. We recommend breaking it up in multiple session of a maximum of 30 mins - 1 hr each. A good break point is at the end of an interactive exercise like a quiz or reflection. |
