Money and Mental Health
Money is entwined in all areas of life and is therefore linked to our overall health and wellbeing, and more specifically, our mental health.
Understanding your Finances
We have always been told to manage our money, but it is especially important in the midst of a global pandemic.
Building an Emergency Fund
Whilst we are all trying to learn to live within a pandemic, it has given us an opportunity to get organised, and that includes with our finances.
Top Tips
Review your spending
With access to our normal luxuries and treats taken away, it is a perfect opportunity to review your monthly spending.
Know your travel rights
Don’t end up out of pocket. Restrictions regarding travel may be in place for some time and it is an individual’s responsibility to ensure they are aware of the regulations in place, including insurance.
Money guidance
Don’t be afraid to ask for support in these times. From day to day money management to struggling with debt, there are many free services available including Government funded advice.
Resist temptation
Online games and gambling are easy to access and can be tempting when the boredom hits, however, without knowing this can easily rack up debts. Play free games or put limits on monthly spending.
Worried about your finances?
That’s ok! Finances are often a very personal thing and can be complicated. Access our online financial education sessions to ensure you are aware of your current financial position.
