Unlocking Benefits: Financial Empowerment, Benefits Wayfinder & Disability Benefits Compass
Searching for government benefits can feel like wading through a huge ocean of information. This webinar will teach you how to help people seeking ways to boost their incomes and/or reduce their expenses by simplifying the search for government benefits using the Benefits Wayfinder and the Disability Benefits Compass. This simple, easy-to-use, plain-language tool is a valuable aid for anyone supporting people to access benefits. Additionally, Registered Social Workers from WoodGreen Community Services will explore how financial empowerment naturally fits into social work, often in ways professionals don’t even realize. They’ll share insights to boost your confidence in these skills and show how the Benefits Wayfinder can make your support more effective and impactful.
This webinar is free for all to attend!
