Empowering Consumers with Free Webinars to Tackle Finances
Main Benefits of Free Monthly Webinars
Every month, an array of free webinars is available to educate consumers on various financial topics. These interactive sessions provide vital information on preventing financial crimes, navigating the complexities of student loan debt, and preparing for unexpected financial emergencies. What’s more, they empower individuals to take control of their financial futures.
Identity Theft and Cybersecurity Awareness
On specific dates this summer, two webinars will focus on a highly relevant issue—identity theft and cybersecurity. Participants can gain significant insights into the measures they can take to protect themselves in today’s digital age. The first session in English will be held one week followed by a Spanish version the next week. It will cover essential areas such as:
- Five straightforward steps to prevent identity theft.
- What actions to take if you fall victim to it.
- How effective fraud alerts can help safeguard your accounts.
Navigating Student Loan Debt
Another critical topic is student loan debt, which frequently burdens graduates. A session dedicated to this will provide attendees with knowledge on how to manage this debt effectively. They will learn:
- The realities behind student loan forgiveness programs.
- Benefits of forbearance and deferment for managing payments.
- How to take charge by refinancing loans independently.
Offering this valuable knowledge ensures that students and recent graduates are better equipped to manage their financial obligations.
Emergency Fund Planning Strategies
Planning for financial emergencies is a crucial aspect of personal finance. A dynamic webinar will educate participants on how to set up an emergency fund successfully. Attendees will explore key strategies such as:
- The recommendation of saving at least three months’ worth of living expenses.
- Simple, gradual steps to build an emergency fund effectively.
- How employers can assist in saving for unforeseen circumstances.
The Purpose Behind these Webinars
According to Sandra Tobon, Director of Housing Counseling & Community Outreach, the ultimate objective is to provide consumers with practical strategies they can start employing immediately, promoting financial resilience across various demographics. These sessions not only help improve financial literacy but also foster a sense of community as individuals face shared challenges.
