Why this training matters
Not every troubled marriage is abusive. When intimidation, manipulation or coercive control is present, ordinary marriage-counselling approaches may miss the real problem.
This programme equips counsellors, pastors, ministry leaders, caregivers, teachers and community workers to recognise abuse, respond safely, refer wisely and support adults and children without blame, pressure or further harm.
Who should attend?
- Marriage and family counsellors
- Pastors and ministry leaders
- Christian counsellors
- Psychology and counselling students
- Social workers and NGO workers
- Teachers and caregivers
- Women’s, youth and family ministry teams
- Church elders and leaders
What you will learn
- Distinguish conflict, distress, abuse and coercive control
- Recognise emotional, psychological, financial, spiritual, verbal, physical and other forms of abuse

- Understand the effect of abuse on women and children
- Support children who have lived in an abusive home
- Understand safety, planned separation, boundaries, trust and reconciliation wisely
- Know when medical, counselling, mental-health, legal, safeguarding or specialist help is required
- Avoid common caregiving mistakes that may cause further harm
- Facilitate awareness and small-group conversations wisely
