Financial Coaching & Supports (COVID)
Welcome to The Financial Clinic’s expanded COVID-19 referral program where SHARE members can make direct referrals to Clinic financial coaches. A SHARE user may request an appointment for an individual who may want some additional supports during this crisis. An individual is initially set up with a 15-20 minute screening meeting with a financial coach to answer any immediate questions and to obtain new tools and resources. After the initial screening, the coach may then schedule individuals for a full financial coaching session to help them resolve financial barriers and weather this crisis.
