Economic Justice, Advocacy and Survivor Empowerment

This four hour training will explore the ways in which economic abuse, lack of resources and opportunities, and the high costs associated with starting over all function as barriers to survivors’ ability to escape violent relationships and maintain safe, stable lives. Topics will include economic safety planning, employment, housing, healthcare, financial management, assistance and benefits. This training will offer resources and tools for advocates to help survivors overcome immediate economic barriers and secure long-term financial independence and safety.
