Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month

Each May, Queensland marks Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) Prevention Month. This annual initiative aims to raise awareness of domestic and family violence and coercive control, highlight the support services available, and send a clear message that violence in our communities will not be tolerated.

The theme for 2024 is It’s in our control to end coercive control.

Find out how to see the patterns of coercive control.
