Episode 32: Recognising and dealing with economic abuse

Stowe talks

A staggering 95% of survivors of domestic abuse experience economic abuse, leaving them isolated, trapped, dependent and confused.

So, we asked Tamsin Caine, a Chartered Financial Planner from Smart Divorce, to join us to look at how to recognise the signs of economic abuse and what you can do about it.

A financial specialist in advising people going through a divorce or separation. Tamsin covers:

• What is economic abuse?
• What are the red flags of economic abuse
• What is the effect of the abuse on survivors?
• Reducing the stigma around economic abuse
• The support available for survivors
• The role of financial education and empowerment
• The importance of building a support team
• How to access support with limited financial resources
• How to take back control of finances

And, a powerful message for survivors on how to rebuild your life following the abuse to create a financially stable and safe life.
