Mental health matters, and so do the people around us who may be struggling. This May, for Global Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re focusing on recognising the signs, challenging common myths, and supporting those who need it. We also explore the link between mental and financial wellbeing, with practical guidance to manage everyday pressures and build resilience.
Helping your loved one lift the stigma of mental illness
A mental health diagnosis may invoke feelings of embarrassment, shame, even fear and anger, isolating someone at a time when they most need understanding and support.
People consistently cite money as one of their biggest sources of worry and stress. Although a realistic appraisal of your personal finances may spur you to take positive actions, such as creating a budget or starting a savings plan, facing up to financial challenges can be daunting.
Recognising a mental health issue and giving support
The stigma attached to mental health issues can prevent you or someone you know from seeking help. Knowing more about mental illness will make you aware of when support is needed to help someone feel better and prevent a situation from becoming more serious.
