Financial stress can, and often does, impact a person’s overall health, which in turn impacts your finances, leading to even more stress. It often requires spending additional money and time to address and restore health, perpetuating a cycle that’s difficult to break. We call this our Causal Loop. FHI’s curricula and programs are designed with the goal of helping participants mitigate financial stress rather than focusing on improved financial literacy. FHI’s programming is built on a person-centered educational approach that assumes the need to reduce financial stress to improve a person’s overall health. We center each person’s unique experiences and provide evidence-based learning that is trauma-informed.

FHI's Frameworks in Financial Health is designed for professionals in human services (and related) fields. The six (6) courses work together to improve the ability to have meaningful conversations around personal finances and provide practical tools that are relevant to daily life. Frameworks helps participants more confidently discuss financial stress and financial health.
