Money and mental health are dangerously intertwined. Money causes us a great deal of stress.
Complex jargon, not having enough, rising costs, income uncertainty. You name it, it causes us worry!
Worse still, people who have mental health issues are 3 times more likely to be in debt and have money troubles.
As with many things, talking about these things can really help! Just like mental health, money issues can be hard to talk about - and, frankly, you don’t need to talk to everyone about it. But speaking to someone who you trust and being honest about what you’re struggling with can really relieve the burden.
