The financial institutions and educational systems are set up in such a way that the average family fails financially. Accessible financial literacy is a social justice issue which has inhibited a vast majority of Americans to be without the resources to build sustainable economic power or even the basics of financial stability. On the issue of equity, how can mental health professionals and advocates confidently educate the masses if this information has systematically been withheld?

As a profession that works largely with the economically disadvantaged, teaching to improve or understand interpersonal economic situations and motivators can be a method toward building financial capability. Social workers interact frequently with individuals and families with financial concerns in need of information on how to budget, manage debt and save. By helping clients examine their beliefs, experiences and relationship with money first as an approach it can bring to awareness the ways in which personal financial management impacts various areas of a person’s emotional, mental and relational being.

The intent of this workshop is to provide a background into the current economic landscape and discuss evidence-based skills to address psychological, emotional and behavioral dimensions of a client’s relationship with money and how to build their financial capability. Financial capability is defined apart from financial literacy’s focus on knowledge of educational concepts, rather, an emphasis in resource management and ability to make financial decisions through positive financial behaviors.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Have an understanding of key financial literary concepts.
• Consider trauma informed and culturally considerate approaches in facilitating financial conversations
• Identify evidence-based skills to help clients build financial capability
