Around 50% of adults struggling with debt also have a mental health issue. Our Wellbeing and Money Advice Teams can support you to manage your debts and your mental health.
Debt and mental health
One in four adults in the UK will experience a mental health issue in any given year. These cover a wide range of conditions and a variety of symptoms which affect each individual differently.
Having poor mental health doesn’t mean you will find it difficult to manage your money but we’re here to help if you’re struggling.
National Debtline have put together a useful factsheet on debt and mental health with the key information you might need if you have mental health issues and are struggling with debt.
Looking at options
Facing up to a difficult situation may not be easy but you’re likely to feel better once you’ve got a plan of action.
We offer a free, independent, confidential money advice service. Our team can talk to you about your debt and the options available to you to make long term, positive changes, whilst addressing more urgent issues that you might face.
Dealing with mental health
If you feel your mental health is preventing you from taking any action, our Wellbeing team can talk it through with you.
Money worries and mental health
This webinar will focus on how money worries can impact your mental health and what we can do to recognise the signs, know where to go to for help and put a plan in place that may help to alleviate financial concerns.
