Identify Behavioral Asymmetries

Learn to recognize who holds power, who experiences fear, and how behavior shifts when boundaries are tested. This foundational skill transforms how you assess family dynamics and spot the patterns others miss.

Quantify & Interpret Patterns with Confidence

Move beyond gut instinct. The FAB framework helps you organize behavioral indicators, examine their direction and frequency, and distinguish reciprocal high conflict from directional coercive control—backed by research from Canada, Australia, and the US.

Translate Analysis into Professional Action

Document your findings with clarity and confidence. Make better decisions about safety, process suitability, safeguards, and referrals—all while staying within your professional scope and protecting your clients.

Why This Course Matters

You already use family violence screening tools. You know the professional standards. But when those screens flag concerns about coercive control, what comes next? Too often, professionals are left without a structured way to answer the questions that matter most: Who holds the power? Is this mutual conflict or directional control? What does this mean for your client's safety and the best path forward? This course fills that gap. The Autonomy & Equality Pattern Assessment (AEPA) and FAB practitioner framework give you the structure you need—not to replace your existing tools, but to complement them. You'll learn a proven approach that's been refined through real case studies and international collaboration. Whether you're a family mediator, family lawyer, or other qualified professional, you'll gain practical skills that immediately improve your decision-making and strengthen your client advocacy.

Developed by a Family Law Expert

This framework wasn't born in a vacuum—it came from years of working with family law professionals who faced the same challenge: how to reliably distinguish high conflict from coercive control. After noticing gaps in existing screening approaches, I developed the FAB practitioner framework to provide the structured inquiry, interpretation guidance, and documentation tools that professionals actually need. I've collaborated with leading experts like Dr. Fiona Darroch in Australia to test and refine this approach through complex, real-world cases. The result is a practical, evidence-based framework that's already making a difference for professionals across Canada, Australia, and beyond. My goal is simple: help you feel confident and equipped in every case.
