De-Stress Your Money Talk: Peer Support for Confident Conversations

Thursday, April 24, 2025 - 11:00:00 AM until

This workshop is open to money guidance practitioners across the UK, facilitated by the Money Guiders Scotland Network.

This relaxed and informal roundtable event provides the time and a safe space for money guidance practitioners to discuss the stress that can come sometimes come when talking to service users about money and how to overcome it.

This is a peer-support forum where participants will be encouraged to share personal anecdotes about challenging money talks and what they've learned from them.

Topics up for discussion/exploration, include:

  • Identifying Stress Triggers: what are the common sources of anxiety when discussing money.
  • Cultural Influences: how societal attitudes toward money can affect both the client’s and the practitioner’s perspectives, and how these biases can be addressed.
  • Stress Management Tools: self-care practices that can be used before or after difficult conversations.
  • Building Resilience: strategies for developing resilience and maintaining self-confidence, including peer feedback, tools/resources, and continuous learning.

By the end of the session, we will identify common/recurring challenges and the next steps needed to address them as individuals and as a community of Money Guiders.

 

New and existing members of the Scotland Network and wider Money Guiders programme are welcome to join.
