ECLIPSE
Igniting family violence awareness through the specialist lens of lived experience
Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept (PVIC)
ECLIPSE's Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept (PVIC) is the overarching theory which ECLIPSE has developed to help build understanding of the dynamics of family violence and coercive control. PVIC is a foundational course which introduces fundamental concepts upon which all other ECLIPSE trainings are built around. This course further provides coercive control awareness, practice guidelines, and tools in order to take the learning and understanding of PVIC and actively transform that into daily practice. We recommend you complete a PVIC training course before other ECLIPSE courses.

About the Course
The Practitioner-Victim Insight Concept (PVIC) is ECLIPSE's practice model developed through lived and practice experience. PVIC raises awareness of coercive control as an overarching family violence tactic. Through sharing her story, Debbs Murray will introduce you to the PVIC practice model and help you gain a deeper understanding of how coercive control is an umbrella tactic for family violence, which results in whole of person entrapment. You'll walk away with a greater understanding of"why doesn't she just leave?" and gain the awareness and tools required to translate that into everyday practice in a confident and more empathetic way.
