Post Separation Abuse Training

Post Separation Abuse

What is Post Separation Abuse?

Post-separation abuse can be described as patterns of abusive behaviours and tactics that abusers adopt to exert control and power over victim-survivors after the intimate relationship has ended.

The abusive behaviours could include physical and non-physical behaviours targeted at the adult and/or children victim-survivors including their friends, other family members, and their pets.

Many victim-survivors are not often aware and therefore not prepared for the escalation of the abusive behaviours by the perpetrator, after the relationship has ended.

This website aims to provide related training and resources to professionals who provide intervention services to domestic abuse victim-survivors.
