About this event
Madeline Mc Aleer, Danielle Roberts, and Noelle Collins examine the destructive impact of coercive control and discuss ‘Five Books That Could Save Your Life’ with Sarah Harte, Irish Examiner columnist. The panel examines why victims of coercive control find themselves trapped in ‘invisible chains’, explores ‘dangerous relationships’ and considers barriers to recognising and responding to coercive control.
