Mind Over Money is an 6-week programme currently open to all residents of South Ribble who are 18+.
It has been specifically designed to provide tools and support in understanding the impact that money can have on your mental health and wellbeing.

Session are in-person at the Lancashire Mind Community Hub, Leyland.

Over the 6 sessions we can look at topics including:

• Your relationship with money, understanding how worry, uncertainty and anxiety can play a part
• Talk about taking the first steps towards the goals we set for you together and different ways to approach these, being kind to yourself but still aiming for results.
• Examine therapeutic spending understanding why we do it, how it can have a place in our lives positively, but also how we can look for other things which give us the same if not more benefits to our wellbeing.
• Practice how we talk about money, being able to have difficult conversations can be helpful in making positive steps towards your relationship with money.

There is space in the programme to look at other areas such as setting budgets or gaining a deeper understanding of why we may feel the way we do.

We work through the tools together and check understanding to ensure you can take positive steps forward both now and also feel in a good place to maintain the balance to your mental wellbeing in the future.
