How do we deliver it?

We will review the key elements of domestic violence in relation to the
behaviours that are experienced by both the abuser and the victim. In this
course you will learn that controlling and coercive behaviours are at
the foundation of all kinds of domestic violence, where the abuser seeks
to gain control of the victim through various kinds of violence and abuse.
