Understanding the Health Impacts of Coercive Control

The Feminine Intelligence Agency seeks to collaborate with Mercy University’s Global Health course to explore the mental and neurological effects of coercive control. Coercive control involves subtle, ongoing manipulation through tactics like criticism, surveillance, and isolation, which can have profound impacts on mental health and brain function. This project aims to research and analyze how these behaviors affect brain chemistry, emotional regulation, and decision-making. By leveraging classroom knowledge in global health, students will conduct a comprehensive literature review and data analysis to understand these impacts. The ultimate goal is to produce a data-driven report that provides women with accessible, evidence-based insights into the health consequences of coercive control, empowering them to address harmful behavior confidently.
