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.

In just 45 minutes, we’ll examine the red flags, explain why young people are especially vulnerable, and outline what parents and carers can do to help. You’ll walk away with practical tools to support your child’s relationships in a digital world.

Date: Wednesday 6 August
Time: 12:30pm to 1:15pm (AEST)

You’ll learn:

  • what online coercive control is
  • how technology can make control feel normal
  • the red flags to watch for
  • practical ways to respond and support young people experiencing it.

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