153: Money and Mental Health: Support Yourself, Your Team, and Loved Ones

Author: Lindsay Bryan - Podvin May 20, 2024 Duration: 22:10

It’s no secret that mental health is a fundamental part of overall wellbeing. 1 in 5 American adults experience a diagnosable mental health condition annually, and 1 in 4 will experience a mental illness at some time in their life. I’m a believer that we don’t need to have a diagnosable mental illness to tend to our mental health. Especially because our mental health impacts how we think, feel, and behave financially. In this video, I’ll share more about how money and mental health intersect, including how it impacts those without a diagnosis and how we can tend to our financial and mental health. Whether you're experiencing mental illness,  an employer hoping to better support your team, or an ally helping a loved one, I've got practical tips to help you at the intersection of money and mental health.
