Money and mental health

Money and mental health are often linked. Poor mental health can make managing money harder, and worrying about money can make your mental health worse. Looking for information about welfare and benefits, and the form-filling that can accompany a claim, can also be a stressful experience. The document Help in Camden with welfare advice lists local organisations who may be able to help.

Across the borough there are organisations that run money skills workshops. These include: Mary Ward Legal, West Euston Partnership and Camden Health Kick. Or, to read about news and events about 'money and mental health', enter some key words into the search box.
