ALT The cost-of-living crisis is likely to impact mental health. The REACH Study is an ongoing cohort study exploring mental health among young people in London, led by the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health at King's. During the pandemic, living in overcrowded and low-income households were found to be key factors that negatively impacted family mental health. These negative impacts of the pandemic are likely to be exacerbated by the current cost-of-living crisis and the imminent recession, causing further anxiety and distress.

🧵 (1/9) We are taking a look at the various impacts that the #CostofLivingCrisis will have on #MentalHealth.
Prior to the #AutumnStatement, we wanted to highlight relevant research, centre real voices, and offer concrete #PolicySolutions.
Here is a summary of our key points:

The cost of living crisis very real. We know that some children may be worried about this and what it means for them and their families.
We wanted to share some resources for children, young people and parents on how to support mental health during this time.

#Adolescence is a critical period of emotional and behavioural development, when most adult mental health problems first emerge.
2022 #ERCengage finalist Craig Morgan and his team are researching how & when to intervene.

Replying to @WHO
The serious gaps in #MentalHealth care are a result of chronic under-investment. This #WorldMentalHealthDay we call on more investment for mental health care for all!
