You can strengthen financial well-being through building skills, asking for help when you need it, and using the resources listed below.
Mental Health America (MHA) and Citizens, MHA’s founding financial services partner, created the Caring for your mind and money guide to provide you with information about money anxiety, tips for managing money stress, tools for overcoming negative thoughts, and other resources to support your financial wellness.
MHA has created tools to help you regain control of your thoughts and feel more hopeful:
The Overcoming negative thoughts tool guides you through reflective prompts that challenge unhelpful beliefs and build practical strategies to support your emotional and financial well-being.
MHA’s Changing thoughts with an AI assistant tool helps you recognize and reframe sticky patterns of negative thinking called “thinking traps.”
