Check out this upcoming webinar from the University of Illinois Chicago, in their IDHD Webinar Series.
Let’s start a conversation about money: An introduction to financial wellness and disability, for students with disabilities
What does it mean for students with disabilities to achieve financial wellness? For students with disabilities, hidden/extra costs, benefits, and other factors of living with a disability call for the need to consider what financial wellness and independence means during (and after) an individual attends college. This webinar aims to start a different conversation about money for students, rather than conversations we usually have about tuition, loans, and school-related expenses with this population. In the webinar, there will be an interactive exercise and an exploration of some of the barriers, knowledge, and resources needed to achieve financial wellness. Anyone else who is interested in the topic of financial wellness and disability is also welcome to attend.
