Get involved with our Financial Mental Wellbeing program

Support Beyond Blue’s work to improve financial and mental wellbeing.  

• Having access to the right support options as early as possible has a major impact on a person’s recovery from money and mental health challenges. To support people experiencing financial hardship and mental health conditions, Beyond Blue is working with financial services, mental health services and community organisations to increase understanding, action and support.
• Rising cost-of-living pressures are having a major impact on people’s mental health in Australia. In fact, more than 1 in 3 Australian’s reported that cost of living pressures was the issue having the greatest negative impact on their mental health – more than any other issue.
• People experiencing financial challenges are twice as likely to experience mental health challenges. The reverse is also true.
• The way people talk about financial challenges can cause people to feel stigmatised. Experiencing difficulty with finances can feel like a personal failing, which can lead to shame, fear and denial. These feelings can result in a reluctance to seek support.
