Cost of Living Crisis: Is money stress making you ill? (News Letter Feature)

Financial worries, particularly during difficult times such as a cost of living crisis , can greatly affect mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and other related issues. This constant stress impairs our ability to focus, sleep, and make decisions, often causing feelings of helplessness and straining relationships. The societal impact is also significant, increasing demand for support services and putting pressure on healthcare and social systems.

Our founder Simon Coombs contributed to a News Letter article on how this stress can affect our bodies and minds, as well as ways to deal with it. He says “Remind yourself that, regardless of your position, you are never, ever alone if you are aware of who is out there to help”. Here at Working Minds, we support many clients with finding help for their financial situation, and our Practitioners can offer strategies and advice on improving your mental health while doing so.
