Description:
Economic Advocacy is an important part of every advocate’s job.  We know that financial abuse occurs in 98% of all abusive relationships and that establishing economic security for survivors is fundamental to their long-term safety.  Access to economic resources is the most likely predictor of whether a survivor will be able to separate permanently from an abuser.  Such access involves working with survivors to maximize their income, minimize their expenses, and protect their assets.  This training is designed to give all advocates a basic understanding of economic advocacy and provide resources and tools that can be used in your economic advocacy work.
