Suggested series for common audiences.

6 ready-made series of free Fluent, Reach and Voice sessions, each with a reason for its order. Open one in the series planner, then change, drop or add sessions to suit the people you serve.

Suggestions, not a curriculum. Every session stands alone and is about an hour, so any of them can be left out, added or moved. A group name tells you little about any one person: ask the people who will come what they want to know. Choosing a series here doesn’t book anything.

New to the country

Adults who have recently moved to the country, and anyone who has never had its health and banking systems explained.

  1. How coverage works here

    Reach · 60 min

    Public programs, insurance and what is free at the point of care, explained for the country you are in.

  2. Finding low-cost care

    Reach · 60 min

    Community health centers, free clinics, sliding-scale fees, and what to ask before an appointment.

  3. Banking without the fees

    Fluent · 60 min

    Choosing an account, avoiding overdraft and check-cashing costs, and what protects your money in a bank, a credit union or a payment app.

  4. Scams and fraud

    Fluent · 60 min

    Scams as bank fraud teams see them: impersonation, payment redirection, romance and investment scams, identity theft, and what to do in the first hour.

Why this order

How health coverage works comes first, so the session on finding low-cost care can build on it. Banking follows. Scams comes last, so the room can talk about the services and accounts from the earlier sessions.

Take-home sheets

Every session in this series has a take-home sheet for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and the Philippines.

4 sessions · about 4 hours

Older adults

Older adults who want to know more about scams and their own health information, and family members or friends who help them.

  1. Scams and fraud

    Fluent · 60 min

    Scams as bank fraud teams see them: impersonation, payment redirection, romance and investment scams, identity theft, and what to do in the first hour.

  2. Portals and video appointments

    Reach · 60 min

    Setting up a patient portal, joining a video appointment, and avoiding health-related scams.

  3. Medicines and costs

    Reach · 60 min

    Generic medicines, asking what a prescription will cost, and assistance programs where they exist.

  4. Your health records

    Reach · 60 min

    Asking to see and copy your records, what the law where you live allows, and keeping them safe.

Why this order

Scams comes first, because the portals session that follows also covers health-related scams. Medicines and health records come after it, as two practical sessions about your own prescriptions and records.

Young adults

Young adults meeting a bank account, a credit check or a loan offer for the first time.

  1. Banking without the fees

    Fluent · 60 min

    Choosing an account, avoiding overdraft and check-cashing costs, and what protects your money in a bank, a credit union or a payment app.

  2. Credit reports and scores

    Fluent · 60 min

    What a credit report holds, how to get yours, how to dispute errors, and how a score is built and rebuilt.

  3. Borrowing safely

    Fluent · 60 min

    How interest and fees add up, comparing offers, and recognizing high-cost and predatory lending.

  4. Scams and fraud

    Fluent · 60 min

    Scams as bank fraud teams see them: impersonation, payment redirection, romance and investment scams, identity theft, and what to do in the first hour.

Why this order

It starts with choosing an account, then what a credit report holds, then comparing borrowing offers, so the room already knows what a credit report is. Scams comes last and can refer back to accounts and credit.

Take-home sheets

Every session in this series has a take-home sheet for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and the Philippines.

The kits are written for adults. If anyone under 18 will come, say so in the written plan: the safeguarding statement applies in full.

Taking part locally

Residents who want to follow or have a say in local decisions, with no prior knowledge needed.

  1. Who decides what

    Voice · 60 min

    Councils, school boards, counties and agencies: what each is responsible for, and where your own area’s decisions are made.

  2. Meetings and public comment

    Voice · 60 min

    Reading an agenda, when and how to comment, and writing to the people who decide.

  3. Budgets in plain words

    Voice · 60 min

    Where to find your local budget, how to read it, and when residents can have a say.

  4. Serving locally

    Voice · 60 min

    Advisory boards, commissions, election work and volunteering with public services.

Why this order

Who decides what comes first, so people know which body to go to. Then how to follow and speak at its meetings, then reading its budget, including when residents can have a say. Serving locally ends the series with public roles people can take on themselves.

Money basics in four sessions

Adults who want to go over everyday money, from a monthly plan to protecting an account, with no experience needed.

  1. Everyday money

    Fluent · 60 min

    A budget that survives a real month, what to do when income is irregular, and starting a small emergency fund.

  2. Banking without the fees

    Fluent · 60 min

    Choosing an account, avoiding overdraft and check-cashing costs, and what protects your money in a bank, a credit union or a payment app.

  3. Credit reports and scores

    Fluent · 60 min

    What a credit report holds, how to get yours, how to dispute errors, and how a score is built and rebuilt.

  4. Scams and fraud

    Fluent · 60 min

    Scams as bank fraud teams see them: impersonation, payment redirection, romance and investment scams, identity theft, and what to do in the first hour.

Why this order

A plan for the month comes first, then the account the money goes through, then the credit report that records borrowing. Scams comes last and can refer back to all three. One session a week fits four weeks, but any spacing works.

Staff and volunteers at a community organization

Staff and volunteers who point people to health services and local information, and want to know how these work where they are. The sessions explain how things work; they are not training to give advice.

  1. How coverage works here

    Reach · 60 min

    Public programs, insurance and what is free at the point of care, explained for the country you are in.

  2. Finding low-cost care

    Reach · 60 min

    Community health centers, free clinics, sliding-scale fees, and what to ask before an appointment.

  3. Medicines and costs

    Reach · 60 min

    Generic medicines, asking what a prescription will cost, and assistance programs where they exist.

  4. Information you can trust

    Voice · 60 min

    Finding official sources, checking claims, and recognizing scams that imitate government.

Why this order

How coverage works comes first, then where to find low-cost care, then medicine costs, so each session adds to the one before. Information you can trust comes last, because checking sources applies to everything in the series.

Hosting

From a suggestion to a plan.

Open a series in the series planner to put the sessions in order, say who would come and print a one-page plan, or build your own from all 18 sessions. If you host with Moraph for Good, the modules, audience, language and dates are agreed in a written plan before anything starts.

Being eligible does not guarantee support: our people’s time is limited, and we take on work we can do properly. What’s ready for your country differs: see what’s available in your country. Hosts can also apply from Mexico, Argentina and Armenia, where the kits have no take-home sheets yet.

Anyone may teach the sessions themselves: the session kits are free to use, and Adapting a session covers what to check and offer for different groups.
