ABLE Webinar: Mental Health Awareness Month and the Power of ABLE Accounts

This article appears as shared by the ABLE National Resource Center.

Join our ABLE National Resource Center (ABLE NRC) Ambassadors as they discuss ABLE accounts as a wellness tool for people who have a mental health diagnosis (psychiatric disabilities). Our panelists will share how ABLE accounts empower them to build economic resilience while promoting better mental health outcomes.

Learn how ABLE account owners have successfully saved and invested with ABLE. The Ambassadors will share saving strategies, goals they have met and their dreams for the future. In addition to ABLE-eligible individuals and their family members, this webinar is essential for the mental health community, including providers and peer counselors. It will provide information to share with those you serve who have a mental health diagnosis and are interested in taking steps towards improving their quality of life and building financial resilience.
