Episode 3: Economic Abuse

In this episode we take a closer look at the link between economic abuse and coercive control. We’ll explore how wealth, finances, work and resources can be used as a means of perpetrating coercive control, as well as discussing resources for survivors of economic abuse to seek help and access support.

To help us we welcome special guest Nicola Sharp-Jeffs. Nicola is the Founder and CEO of the charity Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA), which is the only charity in the UK which focuses specifically on raising awareness of economic abuse. To find out more about SEA click here.
