Editor's Notes
ABOUT THE
EDITOR
Min Grob started
Conference on Coercive
Control in June 2015,
following the end of a
relationship that was
both coercive and
controlling. Since then
there have been 6
national conferences as
well as smaller events.
CCChat magazine
originally started out as
a newletter and has
been going since 2017.
Min’s interest lies in
recognising coercive
control in its initial
stages, understanding
how to identify the ‘red
flags’ of abusive
behaviour before
someone becomes
more invested in the
relationship, as that is
when it will be much
more difficult to leave.
Min is also a public
speaker and speaks on
both her personal
experience of coercive
control as well as more
generally of abuse that
is hidden in plain
sight.

The Things We Do Not Talk About.
Welcome to the 1st interactive issue of CCChat Magazine!
When I started CCChat, back in 2017, I wanted a
platform to continue the much needed conversation
around coercive control, that needed to be had in
between conferences.
It seems a lifetime ago that I set up the first multiaudience
conference, in 2015 and a great deal has
changed since then. At the time there was quite some
opposition to the idea of opening up a conference to
anyone who might be interested to attend. I would be
asked, countless times "But WHO is your audience?". My
answer was always the same: anyone who wants to
attend. I was told it would never work, that 'normal'
people wouldn't be interested in a conference on
domestic abuse and that professionals don't like to be
talked down to in a conference aimed at anyone.
To me this was anathema to the ethos of greater
understanding. This shouldn't be limited to a few but
should be accessible to all and, in that spirit, this issue of
CCChat is seeking input from you, the reader, in what
direction the magazine should go. What do you want to
read about? What needs to be said? Tell me!
