Coparenting Through Abuse: A Therapeutic Workshop

Ending an abusive relationship does not always end contact with an abusive partner, particularly when children are involved. Many women continue to face challenges related to communication, custody arrangements, court processes, and the ongoing effects of coercive control.

This practical and supportive workshop is designed for women who are coparenting with a current or former abusive partner. Participants will gain information, strategies, and resources to help navigate these complex situations while prioritising safety and the well-being of their children. The session is facilitated by Camille Creary, WRC's Case Manager, who works directly with women navigating family conflict, safety concerns, and complex systems of support.
