We provide welfare rights and debt advice for people in Salford who are over 18; are Salford residents or registered with a Salford GP; and who have a mental health condition. Our advice is free, independent, impartial and confidential.

Money and our financial situation can have a big impact on our mental health and how well we feel. Money worries can make our mental health worse, which in turn can then impact on our ability to manage our money. At Mind in Salford, we strive to ensure that everyone with mental health difficulties has access to support and that they are treated fairly and with respect.

About Money and Me

Money and Me is a free, 6-week guided self-help programme delivered 1:1 with a Navigator across Salford.

We aim to support you in exploring your relationship with money through a mental health lens, specifically how money can support or trigger mental health. The course has been carefully crafted to help you to develop the skills and confidence to manage your mental health when you experience money problems.

 

Throughout the 6-week duration, we can explore the following topics based on your specific needs and priorities:

Over the programme, your navigator will help you to;

  • Explore your relationship with money and how feelings of worry, uncertainty, and anxiety can influence it.
  • Discuss taking the first steps toward the goals we create together, finding different approaches to achieve them, and practicing self-compassion while still striving for progress.
  • Learn to navigate conversations about money, recognising that having open, sometimes challenging, discussions can be an important part of improving your relationship with it.

This course is designed to create the following impact on your life;

  • Feeling less worried about money and therefore able to live a happier life.
  • A reduction in your experience of stress and anxiety.
  • Improved understanding and confidence to manage finances independently.

We aim for these sessions to provide you with a space to talk openly with someone, while the resources offered help you gain a deeper understanding of mental health and money. Our navigators will also connect you to other local services that may be beneficial to you.

I was given the time, patience and understanding that I and my situation needed, and felt reassured on completing our sessions.
