New Initiative @ Family Services of Western PA

Financial Wellness is a brand new initiative through the Integrative Processes Department at Family Services of Western Pennsylvania. Wellness is more than just being physically or mentally fit, it is being financially healthy as well!

We are offering many different resources, classes and programs for individuals and organizations throughout Allegheny and Westmoreland counties including the following:

·         Money Smart is an 11 session FDIC developed and approved training curriculum that teaches participants a variety of financial wellness topics such as banking, debt management, credit, budgeting and more.  This service is available to staff, persons served, and local community members.

·         Budget Counseling provides confidential 1 to 1 meetings with a financial trainer for those who may need some extra help to write and implement their own budget.  

·         Entrepreneurship classes are also available. This intensive curriculum occurs over several weeks and is designed to teach the budding entrepreneur and new small business owner the skills necessary to start and maintain a successful business.

A full calendar of events is available on our Facebook page.  Please feel free to contact our department for additional information and updates. Our email is linvilleb@fswp.org.

Our blog is going to be a collaboration of our staff to bring you weekly updates about being financially well starting with Saving Money Tips 101 & the 30 Day No Restaurant Challenge.
