SCROLL DOWN TO GET TO OUR FINANCIAL & MENTAL
​WELLBEING AWARNESS CALENDAR

Let us start by saying that Financial & Mental Wellbeing is for life and not just for Christmas!!

However, there are specific days, weeks and now months in the year that can help raise awareness and makes it a bit easier for employers to plan specific strategies and initiatives to support their people.

Research has shown the intrinsic links between financial and mental wellbeing (and other areas of wellbeing) and we're therefore passionate about improving both of these areas.

Scroll down for some of the key dates in the financial and mental wellbeing calendar and feel free to click on the links to find out more or email us. 

Our team would be delighted to help you design your financial wellbeing initiatives around these awareness dates including interactive group workshops and 1-1 guidance sessions.

The FinWELL Guide To Mental Health & Money
(with the Wellbeing Geek)

With Financial Wellbeing being so relevant and intrinsically linked to our Mental Wellbeing, we've created a unique infographic to help raise awareness for your teams.

We invite you to download your free copy in an effort to raise awareness and help as many people as possible. They can be emailed out to employees with clickable links or printed off so that harder to reach workers can then scan the QR codes and access more information.

We would love to see how far and wide we can share this message with your help!!
