Employability is a pivotal step in an abuse survivor's journey towards freedom and security. As part of the abuse and control, survivors are often forbidden to get a job or pursue a career. This leads to large gaps in their employment history which creates an obstacle to securing work once they flee the abuse. Equipping abuse survivors with the skills and tools needed to obtain and maintain gainful employment increases the likelihood of financial stability.
SAGE clients in need of Career Counselling will work indepth with a Social Worker or Ontario Certified Teacher to identify their strengths and talents and learn about job requirements, salary expectations, interview preparation and more. You may donate as many sessions as you wish – the choice is up to you.

Barriers to employability unique to abuse survivors include: personal safety, identification papers, insufficient education and work experience, boundary issues, lack of conflict management skills, scarce resources like transportation and office clothing, emotional distress, and access to childcare. When these barriers are addressed, abuse survivors are less likely to return to their abuser and more likely to thrive and become financially and emotionally independent.
