Participants will gain a foundation in the language, theories, practice techniques, tools, and resources available to help clients build financial stability in today’s context of economic inequality and social policy landscape. Through a series of exercises and discussions, practitioners will learn how values, habits, and beliefs about money affect financial behaviors and impact client well-being. Participants will learn how to apply social work skills to identify and discuss financial issues with clients.
