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.
“Kate Pybus skilfully exposes the gaping holes in our social security net through which many people with mental ill-health fall and makes a compelling case to rethink this failing system.” Jed Boardman, Institute of Psychiatry and Centre for Mental Health
