We educate the public on economic abuse, how to recognize it and how to seek help. We train professionals and advocates to support individuals who are experiencing DV/Economic Abuse. We connect recent survivors with women who have been on the healing journey for a long time through mentorship.
The project offers free training to victims/survivors and staff working in social services to identify and respond to financial abuse. It covers the necessary information that shelter workers will need to answer women’s financial questions and support their financial progress.
We believe community awareness initiatives are useful tools to educate the public about the different economic challenges faced by survivors of domestic violence, such as costs of recovery, stigma, unemployment, and debt. Knowing what economic abuse is could help prevent it. We want to provide people with information to identify and respond to it.
We conduct community-based research to collaborate with equity deserving group, and financial institutions to address the research gap on Economic Abuse in Canada. Our research endeavors begin by comprehensively understanding the intricacies of the problem, drawing insights from a diverse range of disciplines including our national coalition members. Moving beyond comprehension, we actively seek out promising practices that show potential in addressing the challenges associated with Economic Abuse. Our analysis goes further to evaluate how these practices can be applied within the framework of social justice and ecological considerations. Through our commitment to research excellence, we aim to uncover critical leverage points that can drive impactful policy change and research gaps in Canada and beyond.

We are committed to supporting the challenging healing journey of survivors of domestic violence. Our mentorship programme provides coping mechanisms to deal with emotional stress, feelings of isolation, loneliness, depression, helplessness, and hopelessness. We match a recent survivor of domestic violence with a woman who has been on the healing journey for a long time. This mentorship relationship requires a one-year commitment from both mentors and mentees. We will consider several criteria to realize the matches which are coordinated by CCWFE. For more information become a mentor.
