Cost of living crisis is having huge impact on mental health mentalhealth CostOfLivingCrisis
WORRYING TIMES: A recent survey highlighted the disproportionate impact of the cost of living crisis on black workers
Samuel’s savings were very quickly used up on rent, bills and food and he found himself having to borrow money from friends. PRACTICAL SUPPORT: Jeanette Stanley, Director of Manchester’s African and Caribbean Mental Health Services. “Trying to manage the cost of living in London is a struggle. We’ve tried to look for another flat but it’s so hard to find something I can afford. I’ll find somewhere, apply for it and am then told, ‘it’s already gone’”.
The survey of 1,639 professionals found that 34 per cent of workers from racially diverse backgrounds said their salary was not enough to cover their mortgage or rent and energy bills, compared to 27 per cent of those from white backgrounds. Manchester’s African and Caribbean Mental Health Services has, for many years, provided support to people in the local community, who like Samuel, are experiencing anxiety and stress over money.
