Centre for Mental Health’s new research shows that the cost-of-living crisis is harming people’s mental health. They are asking the Government to raise benefits and wages to help those most in need. #JustLivingAndCoping
The double burden of poverty and poor mental health. Am privileged to have worked on this study. Being poor makes us sicker. Being sick makes us poorer. Action is needed to protect the effects of poverty on the most vulnerable. Centre for Mental Health Ed Davie MPH Andy Bell Nick Treloar

People's mental health is profoundly impacted by social issues - and Centre for Mental Health research exposes the huge impact of the cost-of-living crisis. We need a mental health workforce that understands & can respond to the impact of poverty.
Today’s new report from Centre for Mental Health highlights the widespread negative impacts of the cost of living crisis on mental health. This is a central theme of our Student Mental Health Manifesto and is an urgent issue. Read the full report: ow.ly/tM0g50TfxE4
Important new research from Centre for Mental Health. 84% said the cost of living crisis had made their mental health worse, with the biggest impacts among those living in the deepest poverty. This echoes what we have heard from our funded partners.
84% of people we spoke to said the cost-of-living crisis has made their mental health worse, due to: 👉Acute anxiety about meeting basic needs 👉Isolation from being unable to afford to travel 👉Having less access to healthy food & exercise. Nick Treloar explains more👇

It provides yet more evidence for the need to tackle inequalities in schools and embed a whole school approach 👉cypmhc.org.uk/publications/b…
