March 2025
This brief explores strategies for intervening with perpetrators who choose to use coercive control against their families using the Safe and Together model. The informaton in this brief is based on the webinar: Intervening with Perpetrators Who Choose to Use Coercive Control Towards Their Families, featuring Rhonda Dagg, a faculty member of the Safe and Together Institute and Program Specialist at the General Child and Family Services in Manitoba (Dagg, 2025). Key topics include recognizing the patterns of coercive control, understanding its broader implications within families and social systems, and employing intervention and engagement strategies that prioritize safety, accountability, and empathy. The goal is to equip practioners with tools to challenge coercive behaviours while supporting the safety and wellbeing of affected families.
