It’s Time to Invest in Your Mental Health!

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, financial wellbeing experts and hosts Jacqui Kearns, Shawn Lubitz, and Grant Gallagher, are joined by Pam Cohen, Senior VP People Culture & Administration to discuss the importance of providing meaningful mental health resources to employees.

The team dives into the episode with an ice breaker question, we all know that it’s important to work out and take care of our physical bodies, but often time we tend to neglect our mental health. What are some things you do to put yourself and your mental health first? Pam and the team weigh in with some ways to put your mental health first.

Additional topics include:

• Importance of self-care
• Budgeting and planning ahead, to rid that financial stress
• Meet with a financial counselor for help

The team also takes a question from the member mailbag: Between the state of our economy, coming off the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, and pressures in my own personal life, I feel my finances slowly slipping out of my control. What are some ways I can prioritize my mental health and best manage my financial stress as someone with a lower income?

Finally, the team concludes the discussion by highlights Enrich, which is an online personal finance tool to help you learn about money management, personal credit, insurance, and retirement through online modules. As well as webinars, blogs featured on our website for resource to help you out.
