This #WorldMentalHealthDay millions of us are struggling with our mental health & finances.
Our research, published in June, found the #CostOfLivingCrisis is having a devastating impact on our #MentalHealth - with 1 in 5 UK adults saying they felt ‘unable to cope’.
But things have changed since then - that’s why we’ll be asking our Research Community again about their experiences soon.
We want to hear from as many voices as possible, to make sure we understand how the crisis is affecting people now & what practical solutions could help.
Would you be willing to share your story? As Amy explains, by joining our Research Community, you can share your ideas & help us campaign for change.
You’ll also be joining people like Rob, who are determined to use their experiences of #MentalHealth problems to make a difference.
