Red Flags 101: A Coercive Control Course
Understand coercive control. Respond early. Create safer relationships.
Coercive control is one of the most dangerous (but least recognised) forms of domestic abuse.
The problem is, it doesn’t always look like violence. Instead, it often begins with subtle behaviours such as isolation, manipulation, and gaslighting, or controlling someone’s choices.
Red Flags 101 is a short, evidence-informed domestic violence training course created by award-winning speaker, best-selling author and survivor Jas Rawlinson.
With a trauma-informed, real-world approach, Red Flags 101 is designed for:
Individuals wanting to protect themselves or someone they care about
Parents and carers teaching teens about healthy relationships
And workplaces, schools and community groups delivering DV awareness training to employees or the community
Because when we understand what emotional abuse looks like, we can take action, before it escalates into physical violence.
Healthy boundaries create safer communities
This course helps individuals take action in their own lives and gives organisations practical tools to build safer, more informed teams.

Reducing workplace risk through early DV intervention
While coercive control and domestic violence have a devastating personal toll, their ripple effects extend into every part of society, including the workplace.
Domestic and sexual violence costs Australian workplaces over $1.9 billion each year. Globally, violence against women leads to more deaths and disability among women aged 15–44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war.
Red Flags 101 gives organisations a safe, practical way to start addressing coercive control and emotional abuse through awareness, empathy and early action.
Integrating DV awareness training into your workplace can help you:
Support your duty of care and psychosocial safety obligations
Strengthen employee wellbeing, trust and psychological safety
Equip staff to recognise and respond to early emotional abuse warning signs
Encourage boundary-setting, respectful communication and peer support
Reinforce values that create a safer, more connected workplace culture
When your people feel supported, safe and empowered, everyone benefits: the individual, the team, and the business as a whole.
