All City of Henderson employees (and their immediate family members living in the same household) have access to a one-on-one financial counseling benefit with Forthright Partners™. This benefit is paid for by the City of Henderson, and there is no cost to employees for these financial counseling services. These services are being offered because the City recognizes that financial stress affects you as a human being and complicates your life in so many ways. Financial stress can affect your mental health, your medical health, your personal and family relationships, your ability to focus on work, and just generally makes life harder than it should have to be. Knowing this, we want to help you to set yourself up for a strong and secure personal financial future. If you’ve been struggling with your personal finances and debt, these services are for you. If you feel financially secure, but have a need to make sure you’re on track for the future, these services are for you. If you have questions about what kind of life insurance you need, or whether or not you need it at all, these services are for you. No matter what your financial questions and needs are, these financial counseling services are for you!

How Do I Request a Financial Counseling Session with Forthright Partners™?
It is important to note that these financial counseling sessions are offered at no cost to you, and are available either via a Microsoft Teams meeting, or telephone call.

Go to https://www.myforthright.com/employees, and complete the intake form, including providing information about what you need to talk about.
From there, Forthright Partners™ will triage your needs and assign an appropriate financial professional to reach out to you within one business day to schedule a Microsoft Teams or telephonic financial counseling session.
