Meet Crystal

Hi, I'm Crystal L. Fedeli.

I'm a speaker, consultant, social researcher and policy analyst. I am also an award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit founder and Executive Director.

 

All of my work focuses on understanding coercive control, helping organizations respond better, and helping individuals navigate better. By bringing together research, policy, lived experience, and systems thinking, I work to improve institutional responses to coercive control while helping individuals navigating family court after coercive control do so with greater clarity and strategy.

THE
Crystal Fedeli
PODCAST

Tune into the Crystal Fedeli Podcast, where we focus on what happens when institutional norms and practices diverge from evidence-based practice, which is based on science, research, and law, and instead revert to a practice-based approach, based on tradition and opinion, and how that has harmful consequences for vulnerable and marginalized individuals.

We are currently in a special series titled: 

When Coercive Control Turns Financial, the Family Court Response, and the Cascading Consequences.

Accompanying the podcast series, I wrote a white paper titled:

When Coercive Control Turns Financial, the Family Court Response, and the Cascading Consequences.

It is so important for institutional norms and practices to be grounded in evidence-based practice, which is based on science, research, and law, instead of reverting to a practice-based approach based on tradition and opinion. Otherwise, vulnerable and marginalized individuals are harmed.

-Brittany G.

“Engaging with Crystal’s work brought a level of clarity I had not experienced before. She brings clarity to something that is incredibly difficult to make sense of.”
