Pregnancy does not protect women from abuse — for many, the risk increases. This training explores how domestic abuse can begin or escalate during pregnancy and the postnatal period, and the impact this has on women and their babies. You’ll learn how to recognise abuse, respond safely to disclosures, and help create spaces where pregnant women feel believed, supported and protected. In this half-day specialised training, we explore how abuse can begin or escalate during pregnancy and the postnatal period, and the profound impact this can have on women and their babies. This course helps participants understand domestic abuse as a pattern of power and control, examine why pregnancy can increase risk, and recognise the physical, emotional and psychological effects on both mother and child. We also look honestly at the barriers women face in seeking help, including fear, shame and concerns about losing their children. Participants are equipped with practical tools to respond safely to disclosures, offer non-judgmental support, and build protective, supportive environments where women feel able to speak. The training is particularly relevant for churches, community settings and professionals working with pregnant women and families who want to create safer spaces and respond with compassion, clarity and courage.

Understanding coercive control is a full-day in-depth training that explores domestic abuse as a pattern of power, entrapment and control, rather than a series of isolated incidents. It helps participants recognise how coercive control operates over time, how it harms dignity, autonomy and wellbeing, and why it is often missed or misunderstood. Drawing on established models as Biderman’s Chart of Coercion, the course equips participants to identify coercive and controlling behaviours, understand their traumatic impact, and respond safely to disclosures. It also explores how churches and organisations can unintentionally collude with abuse — and how they can instead become places of safety, truth and restoration. This training is designed for church leaders, practitioners and anyone supporting those affected by domestic abuse who want a deeper understanding of coercive control and the confidence to respond with compassion, clarity and courage.
