managing debt 101
Many Canadians struggle to talk about money, especially when it involves the topic of debt. Having a lot of debt can lead to feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
At Launch, we believe that understanding your situation is an important first step when reducing debt-related stress. Our debt workshop helps participants take a step back, review their debt situation, and create strategies on how to work on repaying that debt.
