CPBI Saskatchewan

Meaningful stories of recovery for mental health were shared at our webinar yesterday. We learned: 1) Mental illness is real; it affects a lot of people close to us and these people need our support. 2) We all can make a difference by caring, listening, and being aware a little more. 3) There is help and there is hope. The Schizophrenia Society of Saskatchewan helps provide the means to cope and a reason to hope....

At our Happy Hour Member Appreciation Webinar on September 17, 2020, Bruce Sellery kept our attention and focus with his energetic presentation. He was very entertaining and engaging, and he made managing money look fun! Here are three key take-aways from his presentation: 1. We are all in the same storm, but we are not all in the same boat. The pandemic has affected people in different ways, for different reasons. It is critical to understand what you need, in your life, i...n this moment, to get a better handle on your money. 2. The Priority Pyramid is a way to figure out where to put your focus. It starts with positive cash flow, then moves up to debt elimination, then saving for the things that are important to you. 3. Taking action on your money takes discipline, patience, creativity, and courage. #cpbisask #cpbiicra #financialwellness #saskatchewan
