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.
