Webinar: Introducing our Healthy Financial Relationships Toolkit
Explore our new Healthy Financial Relationships Toolkit with the experts behind it.
We worked alongside AUT to launch our Healthy Financial Relationships Toolkit, which is bespoke to New Zealand, based on the findings from our joint research project that took place last year.
Join economic harm specialist Beryl Brogden from Good Shepherd NZ and AUT’s Senior Finance Lecturer Dr. Ayesha Scott, as they take you through our new toolkit; highlighting how you can use it to support your clients and use it within your own relationships.
The new toolkit features quizzes, activities, real-life examples and tips to help break down barriers that might be preventing people from having effective conversations with their partner.
It supports people, no matter what stage their relationship is at, to have healthier conversations about money.
“Instead of attacking my partner, I have listened to his ideas and not thought ‘here we go again… all talk and no action.’ This time I have a glimmer of hope it could be different.”
By watching this webinar you will gain:
- Confidence to navigate through the toolkit
- Insight into the research findings and feedback
- A better understanding about how it can prevent financial hardship and economic harm
- Knowledge about why money conversations are important
- Ideas about how you can use it to support your clients and organisation
- The tools, knowledge and confidence you need to have healthy conversations
