It has never been more important to talk about our mental health. The fight to normalise these conversations and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health is an ongoing battle, one in which we all have a role to play. From the current cost of living crisis to the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic, we know that people are struggling.
Research from the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute tells us that people with mental health problems are nearly twice as likely to say they are unable to cope due to the rising cost of living. A staggering 46% of us have reduced the number of meals we eat every day, and one in five (19%) say they’ve missed an appointment for their own mental health. What these statistics clearly reveal is that we must act now to create a space to talk about it.
