2026 Asia Pacific Coercive Control & Children Conference

This three-day gathering will unite hundreds of practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and advocates from across the Asia Pacific region—creating unparalleled opportunities to build your domestic violence–informed practice and forge connections that will advance your work long after the conference ends.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Safe & Together Model—a framework that has revolutionised child protection for tens of thousands of professionals across more than a dozen countries and transformed how systems worldwide keep children safe with protective parents while effectively intervening with parents who choose violence.

Since its founding in April 2006, the Institute has grown from a small, locally focused initiative into a global leader in systems change. While much work remains, this event will be a moment to both reflect on the Model’s impact over the past two decades and look ahead to its future goals.

Whether in-person or virtually, join us in advancing child safety and family well-being at this groundbreaking gathering that will bring together leading practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and advocates to address one of the most pressing child protection issues of our time. This premier event will focus on innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and responding to coercive control in families, with particular emphasis on protecting children and supporting protective parents.
