People experiencing mental health problems are three and a half times more likely to be in problem debt. Half of adults with a debt problem also have a mental health problem.” Four empty chairs and a table with water bottles and glasses are visible in front of her.

@helenundy.bsky.social of @moneyandmentalhealth.org gave an insightful keynote speech at #NestInsight2025 on how people with mental health problems have less financial resilience, and explored what macro-economic benefits there could be to breaking that link.

Early learnings: exploring the link between housing and pensions - NEST Insight Unit

Read the second article in our blog series examining whether integrating pension assets into the UK housing system could improve financial security for low- to moderate-income households: www.nestinsight.org.uk/early-learni... 🧵3/3

Despite the scale of the challenge, there is currently limited evidence to inform it. Our #HousingAndPensions research project, funded by @financialfairness.bsky.social, will robustly interrogate these arguments and help build a stronger foundation for future policy thinking. 🧵2/3
