Money & Me is a one-day workshop that supports participants to develop awareness and skills that promote healthy financial behaviour in the areas of financial awareness, values, resilience and planning. It aims to inspire and equip participants to see money as something positive in their lives that can help them to achieve their goals and improve their overall wellbeing.
At PDP we understand that decisions are not only based on knowledge and skills, they are largely based on emotional drivers and experiences. Money & Me is underpinned by PDPs 4 Level Relationship Theory and looks at a participant’s relationship with themselves, others, the community and, importantly, with money.The workshop creates a unique environment that is fun, but also challenging. During the day participants will explore issues relating to EARNING, BUYING, SELLING, SHARING, TAKING, INVESTING & GIVING.
Participants will develop awareness and skills that promote healthy financial behaviour including:
Financial education is vital – it gives people knowledge and understanding to improve their personal finances.
While financial education may improve a person’s knowledge and understanding of financial products and services available, there are powerful psychological barriers, based on beliefs and experiences, that can prevent them from achieving financial literacy and stability.
In order to achieve sustained behavioural change, there is a vital need to look beyond information overload, towards the values and attitudes that control how people act around money.
Money is an integral part of our lives, and if someone’s relationship with it is dysfunctional, it will impact not just their financial wellbeing, but also their personal and social wellbeing.
We all know we should save more, budget better and learn about investing wisely – but doing something about this needs a change in mindset.
