Protecting Yourself: Managing Personal Pressure
Financial Wellness Settlement Payments Webinar Series
This webinar will provide a safe space to explore the emotional and relational side of receiving a compensation payment. A sudden change in finances can sometimes shift family and community dynamics, making it essential to know how to protect your peace and your resources.
In this session, we will discuss how to build a “Circle of Support”, clarifying the difference between “Helpers” (trusted advisors) and “Deciders” (you). We will recognize the signs of emotional manipulation—specifically guilt, fear, obligation, and shame—and discuss how pressure can escalate into financial abuse.
Participants will learn the practical four-step strategy (Pause, Name, Choose, Communicate) for managing pressure and setting boundaries.
