As one of Canada’s leading national organizations delivering education and training on economic abuse, the Canadian Center for Women’s Empowerment helps professionals, services provides to  recognize economic abuse, financial harm, support survivors, and strengthen systems of response across Canada.

Our workshops are developed with insights from CCFWE’s National Council for Survivors of Economic Abuse, survivor voices, three national research studies, our nationwide environmental scan, promising practices, survivor stories, sector-based learning, and consultations with professionals working in financial, legal, social service, employment, and community settings. This ensures our courses are practical, relevant, and rooted in what survivors need most.

CCFWE offers customized training for banks, financial institutions, employers, credit collectors, frontline service providers, domestic violence advocates, community organizations, and military services.

Our training builds the knowledge and confidence professionals need to identify economic abuse, protect survivors’ financial safety, and address the systems that allow financial control to continue.

Since 2018, CCFWE has trained more than 5,567 professionals from 175 organizations. 98% percent of participants reported that our training significantly improved their ability to prevent, identify, respond to, and support survivors affected by economic abuse, coerced debt, and financial exploitation.
