Partnering with Organizations to Strengthen Institutional Responses
Through research and policy analysis, speaking, professional training, and organizational consulting, I help organizations implement evidence-based policy and professional practice to better understand and respond to coercive control.
Why This Work Matters
Institutions play a critical role in shaping outcomes for individuals experiencing coercive control.
Yet despite a growing body of research, policy and professional practice do not always reflect the current evidence, leaving gaps in understanding that can have significant and lasting consequences.
By translating research into practical application, I help organizations strengthen institutional responses through evidence-based policy, professional practice, and professional education.
