Natural Awakenings Greater Boston - Rhode Island

Unpacking the Relationship Between Mental and Financial Health

Financial challenges and mental health issues

Featured Guest Speaker: Matt Bahl, VP, Head of Workplace Market Development at the Financial Health Network 

According to the American Psychological Association, 72% of Americans feel stressed about money at least some of the time, which can lead to increased feelings of anxiety and depression.

Not surprisingly, this “feedback loop” can accelerate the downward spiral of financial woes and ever-declining mental health--one problem impacts the other, creating a negative cycle of deepening financial precarity and increasing mental health despair. Moreover, we are in the midst of a widespread mental health crisis at the same time that two-thirds of the U.S. population are not financially healthy.
