Description

Financial concerns can have a profound impact on behavioral health, yet the financial domain is rarely addressed in clinical practice. Within social work, teaching financial content is now prescribed by CSWE, and financial issues are highlighted as part of the Grand Challenges for Social Work. According to the American Psychological Association, issues with personal finances and costs of living are the top stressors Americans face (2022). Research also suggests that financial well-being contributes as much to overall well-being as do job satisfaction, relationship support satisfaction, and health status combined (Netemeyer et al., 2018).    

In this course, attendees will be able to define the financial domain of behavioral health, learn the importance of integrating financial considerations into clinical practice, and explore the association between financial and other behavioral health domains (as pertaining to stress, anxiety, depressive disorders, money disorders, and associated substance/medication-induced symptoms). They will learn about the range of situations in which financial assessments may be used. Attendees will then practice ways to engage, assess, and intervene in cases affected by financial concerns. The session will conclude by highlighting emerging issues of which attendees should be aware. A practitioner’s toolbox of resources, referral options, assessment measures, and other materials will be provided.
