PRA Well-being: Financial Wellness by Policy Research Associates, Inc.

Policy Research Associates is committed to the well-being and wellness of individuals with behavioral health conditions. To help spread information about the importance of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness in recovery, we created a podcast series to address each pillar of wellness.

In this discussion, you’ll hear about financial wellness from Kristin Lupfer, Director of SAMHSA’s SOAR Technical Assistance Center. SOAR stands for SSI/SSDI, Outreach, Access, and Recovery. SOAR is a national program designed to increase access to the disability income benefit programs administered by the Social Security Administration for eligible adults who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and have a serious mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a co-occurring substance use disorder. Kristin is joined by two special guests from Kansas City who have transformed their lives with the support of their SOAR Case Manager, by focusing on financial wellness to obtain employment, create personal savings accounts and more.
