OUR RESEARCH PROCESS

From Evidence to Impact

We take a comprehensive, real-world approach to understand how institutional response to financial coercive control affects a survivor's ability to leave and rebuild, and to inform education, resources, and policy change.

1. RESEARCH

We review peer-reviewed research, policy reports, and legal scholarship to understand what is known.

2. LAWS & POLICIES

We examine existing laws, policies, and institutional processes related to financial coercive control.

3. SURVIVOR INTERVIEWS

We conduct qualitative interviews with survivors to understand whether these laws and policies are being implemented in practice and how they impact real lives.

4. EDUCATION

We translate what we learn into education for professionals, institutions, and communities.

5. RESOURCES

We develop and share resources to help survivors navigate systems and access the support they need to rebuild.
