The main reasons prompting individuals to seek financial help in person include issues related to mortgages, pensions, managing debt, and dealing with difficult life events like bereavement. So who can you turn to when life becomes a struggle. A study from the Royal College of Psychiatrists around Debt and mental health found that half of all adults with a debt problem also live with mental ill-health. In response many Uk banks and building society’s have started to offer dedicated support to their customers including Nationwide who Dr Alex has partnered with to highlight the fact that help is available.
