Plutus Foundation Impact Series - March

Plutus™ Foundation Impact Series

Mental Health

March 2022

Each month in 2022, the Plutus Foundation Impact Series features select articles, podcast episodes, and videos from participating content creators, all around a central theme.

The theme for March is mental health. A healthy mental state often precedes ability to succeed financially, and poor mental health can place obstacles between one’s current situation and an ideal relationship with money. While fortitude and grit play a role in overcoming these obstacles, early or generational trauma can be a factor limiting outcomes. How can you better position yourself for success through focusing on mental health? And what do we need to understand about mental health to be more effective in giving advice about money? The best solutions, advice, and stories from the Plutus Community will help you have an impact on your life.
