This workshop will explore the complex relationship between suicide and intimate partner violence, examining the tensions, challenges and opportunities in policy and practice. It is devastating when an intimate partner violence victim takes their own life because they are subject to such torment, pain and entrapment. To prevent such suicides, it is essential to strengthen coordinated responses to both victims and perpetrators.

Through the lens of social entrapment and coercive control, this workshop will explore how patterns of threat and risk posed by perpetrators of intimate partner violence can lead to suicide by victims. Using Jane Monckton-Smith’s 8-stage timeline of coerced suicide, this workshop will encourage critical reflection and practice possibilities to strengthen risk assessment, safety planning, multi-agency cooperation, and documentation.
