Understanding RCA: Specialist FDV sector training to recognise, respond and refer clients

Enrolment will include access to the 6 eLearning modules and attendance at the 2 hour face to face workshop.

Reproductive Coercion and Abuse (RCA) often goes undetected without education and screening, with research showing that up to 25% of women experiencing family and domestic violence (FDV) also face RCA, significantly affecting their reproductive health and autonomy. Recognising, responding, and referring clients is essential for timely support and secondary prevention.
