About the Project
Me & Money encourages and empowers young people to explore and understand the interconnection between money and mental health by supporting their understanding of how our attitudes towards money can influence our thoughts and behaviours. This programme equips young people with a suite of resilience-building skills and tools related to money, which they can use to support themselves, now and in the future.
Who do we support?
The programme is delivered in schools, colleges and community settings across the UK to young people aged 14 – 18 years old.
How do we do it?
Me & Money workshops will feature real life scenarios alongside individual and group activities, equipping young people with the knowledge and confidence to understand the influence money has on their wellbeing and mental health. Feedback thus far from young people highlights how empowering they found expressing their feelings about money concerns in a non-judgemental setting. They’re more appreciative of the interplay and influence money and mental health have on one another and, crucially, feel confident and empowered to take control and reach out for support.
