How to Heal from the High Emotional Costs of Financial Scams
Financial fraud normally occurs out of public view and many victims feel isolated and ashamed. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done.
It’s typical for victims of financial fraud to experience all these emotions according to Dr. Traci Williams, a board-certified psychologist and certified financial therapist. Although most financial fraud victims feel a range of emotions, the length and intensity of these feelings can vary widely. Some victims of financial fraud are upset for a few days and move on while others may develop full-fledged Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Meet the Heroes Fighting to Make Housing More Affordable for Everyone
Housing costs in America are less affordable today than at any time in over a century – and are unlikely to improve anytime soon. In 2020, 30% of all households had “unaffordable” rent or mortgage payments, defined as exceeding 30% of monthly household income, according to Harvard University’s annual State of the Nation’s Housing report.
This is why it's even more important to stand behind organizations that are making inroads in affordable housing. Housing for Everyone is the TD Charitable Foundation's annual competition providing grants to nonprofits across the US for affordable housing initiatives.
