Money First Aid Training

Financial difficulties can have a profound impact on mental health, yet conversations about money remain one of the biggest taboos in society. At Transpire Training, our Money First Aid Training is designed to help individuals and organisations recognise the signs of financial distress, provide immediate support, and guide themselves or others toward financial resilience.

Why Money First Aid Matters

Financial stress can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, but many people don’t know how to ask for help or how to offer it. By addressing financial well-being as part of overall mental health, we can reduce stigma, foster open conversations, and support individuals in building financial resilience.
