The uncertainty of watching as our costs spiral can be difficult to bear. The worry of how we’ll get by and support our families is piling on the pressure. But for so many of us, looking after our mental health is often last on our list.
That’s why, for Mental Health Awareness Week 2023, we're focussing on the impact that the cost of living crisis is having on our mental health, especially for those of us already struggling with money. So many of us on lower incomes were already making impossible decisions between basics like food, clothing and heating. This has only got worse, and prioritising our mental health has become more difficult. As individuals, as families, as communities – we can’t afford to ignore the impact on our mental health. Whether it’s ourselves, our loved ones, our colleagues, our neighbours or strangers. Every one of us needs to know we’re not alone.
Whether it’s raising awareness or raising money, we can let each other know support is out there. Help those of us that need it find hope through Mind's different support services:
We can’t fix the cost of living crisis – but we can help you and people you know feel more able to cope.
Start a conversation in your workplace about reaching out for mental health support.
