Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What does it mean to be financially well”? In general, financial wellness is about feeling financially secure; it’s about being free from money-related stress, such as not having control over your daily finances, car or home maintenance emergencies, understanding the homebuying process, looming foreclosure, or saving for retirement. But according to Everyday Health’s United States of Stress survey, 52% of respondents indicated that “financial issues regularly stress them out”. This financial stress can impact your mental and physical health, your relationships, your work life and your overall community. The good news is that we can help.
At Family Foundations, we want to help put you on the right track towards financial wellness. Our vision is about creating a financially stronger community. Through a wide variety of counseling and educational programs and services, we can provide you with tools or offer you options that will help reduce the financial stress in your life.

Financial wellness enables individuals and families to live better lives! So check out our programs and services below and take the first step towards relieving your financial stress.

However, creating a budget, understanding credit scores, or managing bills that have gotten a little out of control can all be a little overwhelming.

We can also enroll you into a Debt Management Plan or if bankruptcy seems to be your last option, we can offer approved bankruptcy counseling and education.
