Our job

This booklet is designed to help psychologists, the newly minted especially, start to think (many don't think of it at all) about the way sound financial planning can help them stay afloat even as they pay off their loans and also help them start to grow money for the future. We also made certain the entire publication works for this audience and, at the same time, for other career professionals in the same bind.

SSR developed the booklet after referencing the literature and interviewing financial experts. This homework done, the staff wrote and edited the materials. APA subsequently took on the design, with each element reflecting the meaning of a specific portion of the text, rather than following an established model.
