Reducing Stress and Anxiety Around Money

Course / Workshop Content

Course / Workshop Content WHO IS THIS FOR? This course is for ANYONE! You could be in work, out of work, have savings or no savings, rent, have a mortgage, have no mortgage, have mental health troubles that affect your day to day living or not, or be caring for someone else. This is for anyone who would like to feel more in control of their money and find out more about their benefits, have some debt solutions and learn some easy budgeting skills. WHAT WILL I LEARN? As part of our Money and Wellbeing course here at Stepping Stones, we firstly help you to find out whether you might be eligible for additional benefits - ones that you may not even have known about! There are many circumstances where we may be eligible to increase our income but we may simply have been be unaware of this. We also look at debt and show where you can get free, totally confidential advice. Professional guidance is freely available to help manage all kinds of debt. This can often take away the pressure of creditors chasing you as you will have in place a more realistic and achievable payment plan. Finally, in the last part of the course, we look at easy ways to stay in control of our money with some simple budgeting tools. This will help you to be more aware of what you are spending money on, have left over and ways to avoid over spending. We also signpost you to organisations that offer free help and advice. It is all about helping you to feel more in control of your money and your life. HOW CAN I USE WHAT I LEARN? Past students have said that at the end of this course they feel a lot more in control of their money, much less stressed and far more confident about managing their finances in the future.
