About this webinar:
It has been classified as the “Most depressing day of the year” but the third Monday of January doesn’t have to be this way.
While the Covid-19 pandemic has raged on for nearly two years, other mental health and wellbeing challenges have also come to the fore for the protection and health space as it enters a new year. Financial wellbeing, a crucial aspect of many people’s lives during January, has become a pivotal element for protection providers, with a bevy of recent government decisions set to increase the hardship and vulnerability many people in the UK face financially.
The protection proposition offers a vital lifeline to many that are struggling with wellbeing issues, although there are still improvements required to better communicate and engage the benefits that cover and support services can provide.
This webinar will explore how protection can play a crucial part in alleviating the effects of Blue Monday and beyond through the provision of financial security and the holistic wellbeing support ecosystem.
