SUMMARY:It Can Happen to Anyone – Domestic Violence and Coercive Control: Recognizing the Early Warning Signs
DESCRIPTION:Domestic Violence and Coercive Control: Recognizing the Early Warning Signs\nWhat if those first red flags are easy to miss? \nDomestic violence rarely starts with physical acts. Often\, it begins with behaviours that can feel like love\, concern\, or protection. What feels romantic at first can gradually become something quite different. \nBehaviour patterns used to gain power in the relationship\, like monitoring where you are\, managing finances “for your benefit”\, or becoming upset when you spend time with friends or family\, are called coercive control. And it can be as destructive as physical violence. \nNovember is Alberta Family Violence Prevention Month. Across the province\, communities are coming together to increase awareness\, encourage conversations\, and help prevent abuse before it escalates. \nJoin aspiHer for an evening exploring: \n\nWhy abuse can happen in any relationship and why it is often unrecognized\nThe early warning signs of coercive control and abuse\nHow to support someone you are worried about and start a safe conversation\nLocal resources and where to turn for help\n\nNo prior knowledge is needed\, just an open mind and a willingness to learn. You will leave with the knowledge and confidence to recognize warning signs earlier\, support someone you care about\, or better understand experiences that often remain hidden. \nBecause domestic violence and coercive control can happen to anyone. \nPanelists\n\nDenise Summers – Survivor advocate with lived experience\nKaren Gosbee – Community advocate with lived experience related to mental health\, addiction\, and domestic violence\nLeslie Hill – Executive Director\, Discovery House\n\nModerator\nAlison Pidskalny – Strategic advisor\, board director\, philanthropist\, and community leader \nTickets: $45.00 – Get tickets on aspiHer.ca
