Surviving Post-Separation Abuse: Supporting Survivors After Escaping Domestic Violence

"Just leave and you'll be safe." This widely held misconception that abuse ends after a victim leaves a domestic violence situation places these survivors and their families at risk. The desire to maintain power and control of an intimate partner does not end when the relationship ends for an abusive partner. Thus, the abuse continues in ways that we know of as post-separation abuse. Many of my clients and community members have called the abuse after they left a relationship "a new kind of hell," as there are limited resources or knowledge in our greater systems to help mitigate this new form of abuse.
In this webinar, you will learn:
-The signs and behaviors used by abusive ex-partners to continue to gain and maintain control of their target partner
-The ways in which our larger systems support post-separation abuse to continue
-Strategies that you can use to support survivors and mitigate these behaviors of post-separation abuse to improve the likelihood of safety for themselves and their children.

Thank you so very much on being on CZcams as this validates me and my children . All coercive control survivors needs representation and the laws needs to protect females and children . Most of the violence is done towards females and their children .

Who advocates to the court that child abuse and post separation domestic violence is not okay?
What is being done to change the attitudes in our court systems so that women and children can get real justice?
I have been waiting for over 3 years for help!

I don’t agree that the person is going to know. Being in CPTSD makes it so hard to know or predict what your partner will do or say in court. I’m speaking from 10 years experience as a victim. I needed my advocates to help me.
