Made of Money is delighted to offer new training sessions for practitioners. ‘Building the Money Springboard’ is a set of three sessions, developed for professionals and foster carers, who support young people in care or leaving care to learn money skills, with accompanying resources.
These sessions are:
1. Working sensitively with young people about money – A session which explores why it may be hard for children and young people to learn about money. We explore tools that can help money conversations feel more productive and less stressful.
2. Having positive money conversations with young people – Using the Money Springboard resources to have more positive and informal conversations and interventions around money.
3. Supporting young people to make a budget to live independently – how to support young people to handle their money in this transition and have a positive experience of making their first budget.
We will be running sessions in June/July and November/early December. These sessions will be fully-funded, so are free to participants.
This training has been extremely well-received, with 97% of participants saying they would recommend this training to a colleague.
Recent participants say:
“Train as many practitioners as you can as this is one of the best trainings I have been to, as this tackles one of the challenging behaviours we experience in our support work.”
“Just wanted to say a big thank you for the training. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s such an important subject. I think you both create such a positive and supportive space within the training – it’s wonderful energy to experience.”
“I thought the pie chart concept was very good as it is a visual aid that would be easy for a young person to understand. Also, the budgeting calculator was excellent.”
