Honoring the Foundation
The Human Liberation & Balance Institute's Systemic Power & Control Wheel was inspired by the pioneering work of the Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs (DAIP) and the original Power and Control Wheel developed in Duluth, Minnesota.
That framework transformed the way we understand coercive control within intimate partner relationships and continues to serve as an invaluable educational and advocacy resource around the world.
The HLBI Systemic Power & Control Wheel builds upon that foundation by exploring how similar patterns can emerge wherever relationships become organized around control. It expands the scope of inquiry while honoring the original framework and the profound contribution it continues to make.
