Recognising online coercive control in young people's lives
Join eSafety’s expert-led webinar to understand how to spot the digital warning signs ('red flags') of a controlling relationship and how to support a young person who may be at risk.

You’ll learn:
- what online coercive control is

This session is suitable for parents and carers of young people in upper primary and secondary school.
