Final film of a great festival

The government inherited a broken mental health system.

But it can't let the situation get any worse.

We must prioritise cutting mental health waiting times.

We want to break the vicious cycle of money and mental health problems 🔄

Phone-only negotiations exclude some of the people most affected, driving up costs and stress. We’re calling on essential service providers to offer a genuine choice of contact channels.

That’s why the latest @citizensadvice.bsky.social report matters.

🔒 It shows that, in phone and broadband, the best renewal prices are effectively locked behind a phone negotiation - disproportionately affecting those of us with mental health problems. 👇

It is crucial that the next parliament focuses on the things that matter to people, like tackling child poverty. 🗣️

Ensuring parents have access to flexible work and affordable childcare, investment in affordable housing and an adequate social security system are essential. 3/4

Graph showing the change in living standards for different family types over the period 2019/20 to 2029/30, showing lone parents and couples with children set to be worst impacted without policy interventions.

📢Without action, families with children will see their incomes fall by the end of this Parliament.

But our new analysis shows it doesn't have to be this way.

Scrapping the two-child limit and adding a protected minimum floor into Universal Credit could reverse this trend. 🧵

Future Minds - Centre for Mental Health Why investing in children’s mental health will unlock economic growth

Graphic representing the cycle of money and mental health problems. Four rectangles connected to each other in a loop, saying: “Mental health problems → Mental health problems make it harder to earn, manage money and spending, and to ask for help → Financial difficulty → Financial difficulty causes stress and anxiety, made worse by collections activity or going without essentials.”

Money and mental health problems can trap people in a vicious cycle.

Financial pressure harms wellbeing, and poor mental health makes earning and managing money harder.

It’s common – but not inevitable. 💜

We’re working for fairer systems and practical support to break this vicious cycle.

Sick who go back to work end up in low-paid, physically tough jobs Only a tiny fraction of economically inactive find a job each year, and it is often an unsuitable role where they can only last a few months, research shows

"Pushing people into insecure, physical, inflexible work when they are already challenged by disability or mental health problems is futile. These jobs don’t work and they don’t last"
