Calgary, Jan. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aligning with the powerful message of the "#BellLetsTalk" campaign, Money Mentors joins the conversation with "Let's Talk About Debt”. This initiative focuses on breaking the stigma surrounding debt, acknowledging its profound impact on mental health, and providing effective solutions through Money Mentors’ free credit counselling for all Albertans.
In today's economic landscape, as highlighted by the MNP Consumer Debt Index Report, the financial strain on Canadians is more evident than ever. Recognizing that debt is not just a financial issue but also a significant mental health concern, Money Mentors aims to initiate open conversations about debt and its impact on mental wellbeing.
Breaking the Silence: Debt and Mental Health
The connection between financial struggles and mental health issues is undeniable. The stress of mounting debts can lead to anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness. On January 24th for Bell Let's Talk Day, Money Mentors encourages individuals to openly discuss their financial challenges, shedding light on the often-overlooked emotional and psychological toll of debt.
Bell's important message, "Let’s create real change. Take action all year long," is something we at Money Mentors strongly believe in. We agree that this issue needs ongoing attention, and we want to remind you that our team of non-profit credit counsellors is always here to offer free consultations, no matter the time of year. This continuous support is key to helping people deal with their financial troubles and the related stress and emotional challenges.
