MECC Talking Money and Wellbeing – Thursday 18.06.26 10am-12pm City Hall

MECC – Talking Money and Wellbeing

An individual’s financial circumstances can largely impact on their health and wellbeing. For example, financial worries are widely reported as a factor which exacerbates existing, or contributes to the development of, a range of mental health conditions.

Financial Wellbeing is about feeling as though you have enough money to meet your needs with a sense of security. It’s about being in control of your day-to-day finances and having the financial freedom to make choices that allow you to enjoy life.

This course will support individuals across the city to have conversations around finance and provide brief interventions to support financial wellbeing.

The course will cover:

• Acquire an understanding of what financial wellbeing is.
• Understand the impact financial wellbeing can have on health.
• Examine and discuss why financial wellbeing is important.
• Develop confidence in using the 3A’s model within the MECC approach to financial wellbeing.
• Differentiate between ‘Brief’ and ‘Very Brief’ interventions.
• Explore attitudes to talking about money.
• Develop skills to have a Money and Wellbeing conversation and signpost.
