It's one of the important differences between CCCS and other types of credit counseling agencies. We have a commitment to creating awareness of the principles of money management and the wise use of credit. We believe this type of education creates community stability, offers young people a greater chance at success, and brings balance and better mental health to the workplace. Ext 757 or 758 for presentation to schools. Custom presentations are available.
Classes also are available in Spanish.
Other regular workshops deal with the issues of re-entry into the world of credit, holiday spending, buying versus leasing an auto and foreclosure prevention or homeownership preparation. An employee worried about money will be absent or tardy more often, make mistakes on the job because focus is elsewhere or may even be tempted to actions such as theft or substance abuse. CCCS-FW has assistance for employees in the form of custom workshops and individual counseling. Workshop topics range from developing a spending plan to credit rehabilitation to preparing for lay-off. CCCS makes hundreds of presentations on bases throughout our region every year.
