Mental and Financial Wellness

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Did you know that there is a connection between your mental health and financial health? Studies show that even a slight decline in mental health can be linked to increased financial stress.

If your mental health stays in a poor state for a length of time, you may be at an increased risk for financial problems. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ve collected  some articles that provide information on the tie between mental and financial wellness and how you can work on improving these aspects of your life or regain control.
