@Nickala5 @lizdouglas100 @boltoncouncil The National Institute of Mental Health - These stats were published in a Clinical Psychology Review I found on their website. It's a little outdated I'm afraid, but with recent impacts linked to the Coronavirus pandemic, I would imagine these figures to be quite a bit higher now

Please get in touch if you are struggling with your mental health as a result of experiencing financial difficulties.

Thanks to funding from @boltoncouncil we are offering free 1:1 support to anyone in need.
