As we continue to navigate an increasingly interconnected world, it is crucial that we remain vigilant in safeguarding our sensitive data and information and in protecting a financial professional's own and client data from potential threats. Cybersecurity is a responsibility, and each financial professional must do everything they can to maintain the security, integrity, and confidentiality of their client's data.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month and we wanted to highlight how finances can gravely affect someone's mental health. The constant need to balance your budget and constantly accounting for your rent/mortgage, paying for groceries, paying for bills, medical expenses and the need to save for retirement can be overwhelming for many people. According to the American Psychological Association, roughly 72% of adults report varying levels of stress that result from worrying about finances and 44% say their finances are the leading cause of their stress, meaning almost 3/4 of adults in the US will suffer from financial stress. With this article, we want to spread awareness of the negative impact of financial stress and the different coping mechanisms you can use to combat it and keep your mind at ease.^[1]
