Coercive Control Awareness Toolkit for Healthcare Professionals

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a research and design lab focused on social discernment, covert aggression, and psychological safety. Our mission is to help individuals—especially women—recognize and respond to subtle patterns of manipulation and control that are often overlooked by mainstream institutions. We create tools, training programs, and public resources that translate complex psychological and legal dynamics into accessible, actionable guidance. Our work sits at the intersection of trauma-informed care, prevention, and systems change. Project Overview: Coercive control is a form of psychological abuse that restricts a person’s freedom through tactics like surveillance, isolation, gaslighting, and financial control. It can have severe physical and mental health consequences—but because it leaves no visible injuries, it often goes undetected in healthcare settings. Most clinicians are not trained to recognize or respond to it. This project invites nursing students to take the lead in a discovery and planning initiative. Through interviews with nurses, doctors, and clinic staff, students will explore how to make coercive control awareness materials (e.g., posters, handouts, reference guides) as impactful and practical as possible in real-world settings . The final goal is to design a roadmap for producing and distributing these resources across hundreds of clinics, based on frontline feedback.

Empowerment Analytics System

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is building the Agency Calculator , a pre- and post-test assessment tool designed to measure a woman’s autonomy, agency, and understanding of covert aggression. To make this tool impactful on both an individual and organizational level, FIA seeks a comprehensive plan to analyze and present data in a way that empowers individual users. Students will design a system where each woman can receive a personalized report outlining her strengths and weaknesses across key domains, along with a statistical analysis of potential risk areas (e.g., likelihood of vulnerability to manipulation based on gaps in autonomy or emotional resilience). The system will also include tools for women to track their progress over time , visually compare results from multiple assessments, and understand how specific improvements reduce risks. In addition to individualized reports, students will build the broader analytical framework, ensuring FIA can assess overall program impact and communicate results to stakeholders.

Strategic Partnership Development Plan

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to equipping women with tools and strategies to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and counter manipulative power moves. Through educational resources, innovative tools like the Agency Calculator, and tailored workshops, FIA helps women recognize and mitigate manipulation tactics, fostering autonomy and resilience. The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a mission-driven organization seeking to expand its impact through strategic partnerships. This project focuses on designing a structured and actionable partnership framework to help FIA collaborate with organizations in education, technology, and professional development. By leveraging shared resources and co-branded initiatives, FIA aims to optimize its growth potential and align with high-value partners. MBA candidates will act as consultants, applying their expertise in strategic operations and project management to identify potential partners, design collaboration models, and create sustainability strategies. The project will culminate in a comprehensive report and presentation, equipping FIA with the tools and insights needed to develop impactful partnerships that drive measurable growth.
