Power and Control Wheel

The Power and Control Wheel is a visual tool used to illustrate the tactics that individuals use to gain and maintain power in abusive relationships. It highlights various forms of abuse, including emotional, physical, economic, and psychological manipulation. Each spoke of the wheel represents a different method of control, such as intimidation, isolation, and using children. The wheel helps people recognize patterns of abuse, understand the dynamics of control, and encourages victims to seek help.
