How to Talk About Wealth Inside Families
Money, Relationships & Responsibility
Money conversations are rarely only about money. Learn why they can become difficult, what families communicate without saying, and how to approach fairness, expectations, freedom and responsibility across generations.
January–March 2027 · 9 teaching weeks · Online blended learning · Enrolment details to follow
Within families, money can stand for love, safety, recognition, control, belonging or obligation. Conversations become difficult when people believe they are discussing the same thing while carrying different meanings and expectations. This course helps participants understand those patterns and practise opening more constructive conversations about wealth. Each participant takes part on their own and decides what to share.
What we will work with
- What we learn about money in families before anyone teaches us.
- Silence, expectations and different ideas of fairness across generations.
- Telling apart facts, feelings, roles, rights and responsibilities in a conversation.
- Practising ways to begin, listen, disagree and leave room for another person's judgment.
What you can take away

Who it is for

Age
18+. A version with younger family members would be designed and safeguarded separately.
