Mental Health, Counseling & Survivor Support
Finding a trauma-informed, licensed mental health professional with experience in coercive control, domestic violence, or post-separation abuse may be helpful. The resources below are intended as starting points; inclusion does not guarantee fit, availability, or quality of care.
Ask about training, licensure, confidentiality, fees, accessibility, cultural responsiveness, and experience supporting people of all genders. Our Therapist Screening Tool can help you prepare questions.

Financial abuse can include restricted access to money, damaged credit, interference with employment, coerced debt, or withholding financial information. These harms can make leaving, staying safe, or rebuilding more difficult.
NNEDV’s Economic Justice Project offers education and resources about financial abuse and economic security for survivors and advocates; it is not individualized financial assistance or a referral service.
This page is educational and is not legal, financial, or credit advice.

Documentation & Technology Safety
Documenting events can help some people organize information, notice patterns, and prepare questions for an advocate or attorney. It does not guarantee protection, admissibility, or a legal result.
NNEDV’s Safety Net Project offers technology-safety resources for survivors and guidance for victim-service organizations. The Fooled No More Foundation’s browser-based Documentation Toolkit can help organize information, but browsers, devices, networks, downloads, backups, or monitoring software may leave traces.
VictimsVoice is an independent third-party service that stores sensitive information under its own privacy terms and may require a paid license or access through a partner organization. The Fooled No More Foundation does not verify or guarantee legal-admissibility claims made by any documentation service.
Use any documentation tool only when it feels safe.
