Money Matters

Feeling stressed out by money is normal when you’re dealing with mental health or addictions challenges. We made Money Matters because we understand financial troubles can cause unneeded stress when people are on the road to recovery. Together, we can improve your money management skills and reduce money related stress

Money Matters is a partnership between Momentum, Calgary Alternative Support Services (CASS) and Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) that provides financial literacy support and services to individuals living with mental health or addiction challenges.
