Financial Wellness Facilitator Certificate Course
Course Description
Managing stress is a critical skill for well-being, but the best way to address stress is to reduce what is causing it. At the top of the list of stressors for many is their finances. The solutions being offered today tend to focus on budgeting, debt reduction, and retirement planning. These are important, but unless the individual’s relationship with money changes, nothing will change.
Offered in collaboration with the Foundation for Financial Wellness, this self-paced, on-demand course prepares you to offer the “Living Financially Well” Lunch and Learn to help individuals understand how their relationship with money impacts all dimensions of their wellness (and vice versa) and to equip them with tools to support their financial wellness and overall well-being for years to come.
