How do you feel when you think about your finances? Does it bring up difficult emotions? Money can be a hard thing to talk about and is often closely linked to our mental health. I decided to dig into the common issues that link money and mental health with Helen Undy, who's the Chief Executive of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute.

If you'd like to access any of the helpful resources Helen mentioned in the interview, you can find them here.

If you have personal experience of mental health problems and would like to get involved in Money and Mental Health's work, you can sign up to their Research Community here. It's a chance to share your story, and to help break the link between mental health and money problems. 

The Samaritans can be contacted on the phone on 116 123 or click here for their website.
