MOVING AHEAD THROUGH FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Financial/Economic Abuse is a recognized but yet not very well known form of domestic violence. 99% of Domestic Violence Victims experience Financial Abuse even if they do not recognize it at the time it is occurring since there is a lack of awareness of this abuse in our current world. It is often the 1st tactic used to gain control. Financial Abuse has no race, gender, age nor social or economic status.
Financial Abuse may not leave visible bruises but it is just as devastating as any other form of abuse. It reduces the victims financial confidence, may ruin their credit and may leave them without the means for financial security.
This program’s ultimate goal is Financial Abuse prevention through improving awareness and empowering individuals through financial education to improve their lives today and to enhance their tomorrow. Knowledge is Power!!
