About This Webinar

This webinar establishes the connection between financial and mental health, addressing its relevance for individuals, couples, and families. We explore how emotional well-being influences financial choices, as well as the reciprocal impact of financial decisions on emotional state.

Stress, anxiety, and guilt can all impact money management and family financial readiness. This webinar equips service providers with the knowledge to define personal and family financial well-being, recognizing signs of financial strain and psychological distress. Learn about financial therapy and understand how financial planning supports positive mental health outcomes, reduces anxiety, and improves overall well-being. Discover resources for expanded engagement and care coordination/referrals that are ideal for service providers.

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

Define personal and family financial well-being
Understand the intersection between financial well-being and mental well-being (financial strain/stress and mental health)
