SUMMARY:Caring for Your$elf | Financial Empowerment Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Register now!  In this interactive workshop\, participants will reframe budgeting into a useful tool that works for them and learn how to set meaningful and achievable financial goals.  This event is the fourth of five for the Financial Empowerment Initiative.

The FEI workshops focus on participants developing a better understanding of their own financial decision-making processes\, by exploring the underlying psychological\, social\, and generational roots that underlie their individual financial choices\, to become equipped with the self-knowledge to be empowered to take charge of their own financial well-being. #Wellbeing
