Debt and Money Management

Poor mental health can make earning and managing money harder. And worrying about money can make your mental health worse. Here, you can find out more about organising your finances, claiming benefits and dealing with services.

If you are having thoughts of suicide or acts of self harm, or you are worried about someone else please dial 999 or call the Samaritans on 116 123 for free. There are other local support lines that can help such as Somerset Mindline on 01823 276 892.
