Description

Are you working with clients who have been and are continuing to face profound financial distress? More and more, social workers are called to work with clients around their finances. Increasingly, financial problems are a recognized, critical component in social work settings across mental and behavioral health, family stability, and physical health domains. This workshop will offer an abbreviated introduction to the Your Money, Your Goals toolkit, developed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). You’ll learn about the resources you need to help people tackle financial stressors, increase income, set goals, and develop other critical skills in today’s environment. This workshop includes an online toolkit and follow-up resources to easily integrate financial social work into your practice.
