Our May 2022 conference will concentrate on the dynamics of coercive control in families and it's impact on children. We are seeking presenters to help educate how coercive control is used, how coercive control can be recognized, and create better public policy to make it illegal throughout the Americas - from Canada to the tip of South America and every country in between.

​

The 2022 Americas Conference to End Coercive Control is a two-day virtual conference examining the breadth of coercive control in the Americas. The ACECC seeks to help advocates, DV professionals, survivors, court professionals, mental health professionals, and social workers with cutting edge research and resources to aid victims, to educate the public and to introduce legislation that outlaws coercive control as Britain, Scotland, France, Ireland and Wales have. If you would like to make a presentation at the 2022 conference, please complete our presenter application no later than Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 11:59 pm cst.
