Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept and Coercive Control Guidelines, Practice and Tools

ECLIPSE's Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept (PVIC) is the overarching theory which ECLIPSE has developed to help build understanding of the dynamics of family violence and coercive control. PVIC is a foundational course which introduces fundamental concepts upon which all other ECLIPSE trainings are built around. This course further provides coercive control awareness, practice guidelines, and tools in order to take the learning and understanding of PVIC and actively transform that into daily practice.

Description

Our Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept course is a pre-requisite to all other ECLIPSE training.

The Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept (PVIC) is ECLIPSE's practice model developed through lived and practice experience. PVIC raises awareness of coercive control as an overarching family violence tactic. Through sharing her story, Debbs Murray will introduce you to the PVIC practice model and help you gain a deeper understanding of how coercive control is an umbrella tactic for family violence, which results in whole of person entrapment. You'll walk away with a greater understanding of "why doesn't she just leave?" and gain the awareness and tools required to translate that into everyday practice in a confident and more empathetic way.

Through attending this course you'll:

  • Obtain a deeper understanding of ECLIPSE's Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept.

  • Develop knowledge of resistance strategies and how victims resist coercive control and family violence every day.

  • Understand the importance of self-determination strategies, dignity-enhancing practice, and empathetic connection as steps to a healing pathway.

  • Grow in awareness and knowledge of the guidelines for identifying and navigating coercive control as an overarching family violence tactic.

  • Be provided with practice tools and guidelines developed by victim-survivors and are embedded with and informed by the voice of lived experience of family violence.
