On Thursday 12 November, Public Health England are holding a FREE one hour webinar to support the mental health and wellbeing of groups of people who are likely, or currently experiencing, debt and money problems as a result of the economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID19) outbreak in England.

The session will deliver practical advice and good practice on:

• Understanding how mental health problems and financial difficulties are linked
• How common symptoms of mental health problems can make engaging with services and debt advice a challenge
• The steps services can take to ensure they are accessible to people experiencing mental health problems
• The benefits of co-operation between local services in meeting the needs of vulnerable customers, including those with mental health problems

Who should attend?

Health and social care staff, frontline public-sector staff (housing, employment and benefits), staff in work and pensions’ services coordinating action with local authorities and other government departments, community leaders and groups, volunteers, and supervisors and managers.

Speakers:

• Conor D’Arcy (Chair) – Head of Research and Policy for the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute
• Simi Ryatt – Chief Executive Officer for Hammersmith and Fulham Citizens Advice
• Claire Herbert – Mental Health Policy and Challenge Group Lead for the Money and Pensions Service
