PESI vs STEAR

Using the PESI Mobile app, one can: • Download any on-demand content to watch offline wherever, whenever. • Participate in a live webcast, webinar, or digital seminar. • Access, view, and download handout materials. • Perform evaluations. • And obtain certificates of completion. It's simple to watch an on-demand seminar or participate in a live webcast from your mobile device. Your screen will display the presentation, and your headphones or speakers will play the audio. Boarding an aircraft or traveling without access to the internet? No problem. You can watch courses that are available for download through the app, even if you are not online. Course completion information is automatically transmitted and available in customers' accounts once the mobile device connects back to the internet. Without ever leaving the app, you can also read handout materials, take tests and quizzes, and get certificates of completion. Need help? You can contact PESI by clicking on the support tab in the course viewer, or by clicking Help & Feedback in the menu. NOTE: You must already have an account on PESI, Psychotherapy Networker or Evergreen Certifications to use the PESI app.

Screening Tool for Economic Abuse Recovery (otherwise known as STEAR) is a free app designed for people who have experienced a form of domestic violence known as economic abuse. It contains general information on different types of economic abuse, a questionnaire to help identify it in relationships, tips on safety planning and specific resources to support you on your path to economic empowerment and freedom. Gathering resources to escape economic abuse can be tricky when living with the abuser. For your safety, a lock feature has been built into the app for discreet browsing. When you click on the lock icon the app will switch to a mock home organizing page with images of decor and recipes. To get back into the app after the lock screen has been activated, the app requires you to set a 4-digit pin at the beginning, however, no personally identifiable information the user submits to the app will be stored. This means that with each session, the app will open as brand new. Note, if you feel unsafe downloading this app onto your personal device consider using the web version on a private browser where your history will be cleared upon closing the window. You can visit our site at https://stear.app/. The STEAR app guides users through a series of pages that break down aspects of economic abuse including common controlling mechanisms and tactics, employment sabotage and economic control. Along with this information, there is a quiz for users to take to assess their situation to see if they're at risk.

STEAR was developed by the Canadian Center for Womens Empowerment (CCFWE) with funding from the Government of Canada and WAGE
