The Overlooked Dimension of Survivor Healing

Financial abuse is a widespread but often invisible form of gender-based violence. This workshop explores how economic control intersects with sexuality, intimacy, and consent, and offers strategies for integrating economic justice into survivor-centered sexual health and therapy practices.

This workshop explores how economic control intersects with sexual health, relationships, and therapeutic practice. Participants will gain tools to identify financial abuse within intimate dynamics and learn strategies for integrating economic justice into survivor-centered care. By bridging financial literacy, consent frameworks, and trauma-informed therapy, the session equips practitioners to support survivors in reclaiming both bodily and economic autonomy.
