Separation is often viewed as the end of abuse but for many survivors, it’s only the beginning of a new phase of control, harassment and harm.

Outline:

Happily Never After… is a powerful training session that centres the lived experiences of survivors - particularly Black femme survivors - navigating ongoing abuse after leaving an abusive partner. This training explores the forms, impacts and systems that enable post-separation abuse (PSA), from family courts and shared parenting arrangements to economic control and stalking.

Grounded in trauma-informed, culturally responsive and survivor-led practice, this session equips participants with the knowledge, confidence and tools to identify PSA and intervene in ways that are safe, empowering and justice-oriented.

Who is it for?

This is a level 2 training course with specific investigation into post-separation abuse. Attendees will ideally have an entry-level understanding of domestic abuse as a foundtion of which to build on and from.
