FINANCIAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING
FINANCIAL JOURNEYS CAMPAIGN
WHAT IS THIS CAMPAIGN ABOUT?
THE PIMFA FINANCIAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING: FINANCIAL JOURNEYS CAMPAIGN WAS CREATED TO HIGHLIGHT THE LINK BETWEEN FINANCIAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING
What is Financial and Mental Wellbeing?
Financial and Mental wellbeing is the ‘peace of mind’ that can come from managing your money, planning ahead to meet your needs, being informed or from having a trusted adviser that helps you navigate through you life’s most significant moments.
Why is it important?
At whatever stage at life you are, we are all faced with difficult decisions that often involve money and planning for our future.
This can be stressful and can affect your mental and financial wellbeing. But you don’t have to face these decisions alone.
From better financial education, to advice from qualified financial professionals for guidance, we want to ensure that people have a better understanding of their finances, and access to the help they need to make important decisions about their financial futures.
