Economic Empowerment

Economic independence is the greatest predictor of a survivor escaping ongoing violence in a relationship.

SPARCC’s Economic Empowerment Program Has Two Phases:

  1. Assessment: Participants identify their current interests, strengths, skills, resources and commitment level.
  2. Program Plan: Address financial literacy; employability skills; career exploration and identification; vocational training; job search and interviewing; mentoring; and ongoing support

Program Benefits:

  • Gain confidence, resilience and strength
  • Discover personal interests
  • Set goals
  • Establish boundaries
  • Become assertive
  • Develop problem-solving and coping skills
  • Cultivate workplace skills
  • Achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency

For program details and an initial assessment, contact SPARCC at 941-365-1976.
