Funder Approaches to Addressing the Critical Connection Between Youth Mental Wellness and Financial Wellness

Curious about the connection between mental well-being and financial security during adolescence and young adulthood?

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, most mental health conditions are diagnosed during the same life stage when young people are building the skills and accessing opportunities that shape their financial futures. Mental and financial well-being are deeply interconnected—each influences and reinforces the other.

When young people experience mental wellness, they’re better equipped to manage money, handle stress, make informed decisions, and seek help when needed. At the same time, financial security reduces one of the most common sources of stress that can contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Yet, despite these strong linkages, funders often treat mental health and financial well-being as separate priorities.

Join us on May 13th, 2025 at 2pm EDT for an engaging webinar that explores why supporting mental wellness must be a core component of financial wellness initiatives.

This session will provide funders with:
• Key insights on the intersection of mental and financial well-being
• Real-world examples of integrated support strategies
• Actionable steps to align funding efforts with the realities young people face

This conversation is especially relevant for health funders, those focused on economic opportunity, and anyone invested in improving outcomes for youth. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your impact and help shape a more holistic, effective approach to supporting young people’s financial well-being.
