Free · Vetted · Shareable
For caseworkers, law enforcement, attorneys, advocates, and anyone who works with survivors and wants to do it right. All resources on this page are free. Most were created by the people closest to the harm.
A note on intent: This page exists because most practitioners who cause harm to survivors are not malicious — they are undertrained. The resources here are curated for people who genuinely want to understand coercive control, traumatic brain injury, neurodivergence, and child welfare dynamics more accurately. If you work in these systems and you're here, that matters. Share what you find.
These briefs are written by Kill the Precedent for practitioners, advocates, and survivors. All are free to print, share, and use in training contexts with attribution.
