Pathway to Financial Wellness
FREE Webinar

June 6, 2024 | 9:00 - 11:00 am PT
Presented by: Travis George
Sponsored by: Second in Command Committee

Course Description:
Financial wellness has been shown to help people be more productive, use less sick leave, and improve morale. Using real-world examples, this session will teach you how the financial planning process can help identify commonly made mistakes, and then provide solutions so first responders and their families can achieve personal financial wellness.

Emotional, psychological, and financial wellness are interconnected and must be evaluated interdependently. After taking this course, the student will be better equipped to take charge of their financial future and recognize why the financial planning process must be comprehensive, collaborative, and ongoing.
