Description
Our knowledge and awareness of mental health has never been greater, but little progress has been made in addressing a key cause of poor mental health: poverty and financial insecurity.
This book argues that tackling poverty and financial insecurity through well-designed social security systems could offer a new focus for improving our collective mental health.
Focusing on three key areas: prevention, support and investment, it sets out how social security could act as a public mental health intervention with the potential to help stop our current crisis trajectory of worsening poverty and mental health.
