Encouraging Financial Conversations

Encouraging Financial Conversations is a program designed for anyone who works as a case manager, social worker, or other frontline staff to help empower clients to achieve their financial goals and manage their money. As a participant, you will learn techniques and strategies to help your clients create a financial goals action plan, build and maintain good credit, pay off debts, develop a spending and savings plan, and protect themselves from fraud and identity theft. You will also learn coaching strategies that capitalize on a client’s strengths and resources in coming up with solutions. Join Extension Educators and colleagues from Sauk, Grant, Iowa, and Richland Counties as we cover content related to the key building blocks of financial security and how you can feel confident sharing this material with your clients. All sessions are offered live via zoom, and we ask everyone to pre-register.
