Feeling stressed out by money is normal when you’re dealing with mental health or addiction challenges.

Our Money Matters facilitators 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.

Financial Education
Momentum facilitators deliver a series of seven workshops hosted by various organizations within the Calgary health community. We work with organizations to ensure our programming is delivered at the right time for those on the road to recovery.

Financial Administration
The Financial Administrators from YW Calgary, Jewish Family Service Calgary, and Calgary John Howard Society offers one-on-one participant-directed support to individuals who find it difficult to manage their finances on their own.
