Help Us Celebrate Financial Literacy Month!

Did you know that April is National Financial Literacy Month? Probably not, but that won't stop you from celebrating, will it? Definitely not. In order for you to get your financial literacy boogie on, the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Dallas (CCCS of Greater Dallas), a nonprofit provider of free financial education as well as free housing and credit counseling, is offering 100 FREE live webinars. This is a good chance to brush up on your training, and to get guidance on familiar client issues. We wanted to let you all know of the opportunity, and to give you some direction on which of these we think will be most useful in dealing with clients. 

The 100 webinars will focus on 39 different personal finance topics, ranging from credit scores and getting out of debt, to buying a home and preventing foreclosure. You can feel free to take a look at the entire list, but here are some of the sessions that align with our clients' concerns:

• Vision Quest: Goal-Setting

• Dumb Money Mistakes We Make with our Family

• Surviving Financial Crisis

• The Psychology of Debt

• Alternatives to Payday Loans

You can see all of April's schedule here. Open sessions will indicate so with a yellow "Sign Up" button; just click to register.

Sessions will be running day and night to give you plenty of opportunity to tune in. You can polish your goal-setting over a bowl of cereal, spend your lunch hour learning the psychology of debt, or snuggle up with your computer and drift asleep to the gentle tones of financial crises. These webinars have the chance to make you a more informed, effective coach, so take Financial  Literacy Month to sharpen your skills!

Please feel free to forward this information to others who may benefit from this opportunity.  For further questions regarding these webinars, please contact Mr. Todd Mark at tmark@cccs.net. We hope you make the most of this opportunity! Thanks!
