Mental Health and Financial Fraud

It’s Not Your Fault: Empowerment After Financial Fraud

Learn about the emotional impact of fraud, how to take control back, the importance of staying connected and where to get help.

Supporting Older Adults Affected by Financial Fraud: Guidance for Health Care Practitioners and Allies

Beyond financial loss, fraud can trigger profound emotional distress, exacerbate chronic health conditions, and erode trust in relationships and systems. Health care practitioners and trusted allies are uniquely positioned to identify the impacts, reduce stigma, and support recovery.
