Financial and mental wellbeing go hand in hand. A change in life circumstances such as loss of employment or bereavement can result in money difficulties which then impact on your mental health.
Mental health problems can make it harder to earn and manage your money, and debt can trigger or worsen conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress.
