Financial counselors frequently observe relationships between health and personal finances in their work with clients. Examples include money spent on smoking that cannot be saved, the financial impact of an accident or illness, and decisions that people make with respect to health insurance. This webinar explores associations between health and finances and health and financial practices.
The webinar begins with a Wellness Wheel activity and group discussion questions about health and personal finance relationships. Next, Dr. Gutter discusses research about cancer and personal finances. Dr. O’Neill concludes the webinar with a discussion of the findings and implications of six studies of associations between various health and financial practices.
