The Trauma Informed Financial Conversations training was perfect for the Whatcom Literacy Council as we are a very small nonprofit, so it is challenging to provide professional development opportunities for staff and volunteers. Because our work offering free adult literacy services encompasses financial literacy, and we assume most if not all of our clients have experienced trauma, it was a good fit. The straightforward nature of the presentation made it accessible, and it was easy to see how certain tools and techniques would be appropriate for other types of training. It was easy to schedule a time that worked well for us. We hope we can work with FEN in the future.

We will have an initial discovery call to hear about what type of training you are seeking. Costs are tailored to the scope of your project and organization budget. Further assistance is available via sliding scale or joint fundraising.
Examples of trainings FEN can provide:
Many people feel hesitant to offer guidance when they are still navigating their own financial journeys. In this workshop, we will explore our personal money belief systems to build the self-awareness needed to lead with empathy. By understanding our own relationship with money, we can more confidently facilitate difficult financial conversations with others, even while navigating our own challenges.
Money conversations are inherently vulnerable, especially when layered with trauma. This workshop explores how our personal histories shape these interactions. We will examine the physiological impact of trauma, identify its signs, and practice trauma-informed tools designed to facilitate financial healing while safeguarding against re-traumatization.
Economic abuse often leaves survivors with complex credit challenges, creating a significant barrier to long-term independence. This workshop demystifies the credit system, moving from confusion to clarity. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of credit and learn practical strategies to help survivors assess their reports, address damage, and make informed decisions that support their financial freedom.
Financial security is often the invisible bridge between leaving and staying in a domestic violence situation. In this session, we will explore how financial safety planning can be a transformative part of the DV advocacy process. This workshop provides a clear, trauma-informed roadmap for financial safety planning and helping survivors understand their assets, debts and the resources available to them.
