BIBA Schemes & Facilities webinar - Financial Stress and Mental Health presented by Mental Health in Business

Financial strain is recognised as being one of the key stress factors for adults, and it can be a major risk factor for poor mental health. It is not uncommon for people to neglect their mental health, specifically when they are experiencing financial stress. This can lead to significant problems in the long term and even worsen the existing financial stress.

In this session Claire will explore the relationship between financial stress and health - and attendees will leave with practical tools to help them combat financial stress, and stay well.

Learning objectives:

• Identify the impact of financial stress
• Understand the relationship between financial stress and health
• Feel empowered to take control of their financial stress
• Develop some practical tools to help them combat financial stress
