The Young Fabians have launched their latest pamphlet, Unveiling the Impact of the Cost of Living Crisis on Mental Health in the UK, edited by Dorothy Herson.
The cost of living crisis in the UK has had devastating consequences, not just on people’s finances but also on their mental health. As inflation has risen, wages stagnated, and the price of essentials like food, energy, and housing soared, millions across the country are facing unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Unveiling the Impact of the Cost of Living Crisis on Mental Health in the UK, edited by Dorothy Herson, delves into how this crisis is disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable groups in society—including young people, care leavers, and homeless people. It sheds light on the alarming rise in issues such as addiction, the deterioration of personal relationships due to financial strain, and the mental health toll of being trapped in situations with no apparent way out.
This pamphlet brings together powerful personal testimonies, analysis, and hard-hitting statistics to reveal the stark reality many face today. It aims to ignite urgent conversations about policy changes, social support systems, and the collective action needed to address the intersection of financial hardship and mental health.
Through this work, the Young Fabians hope to place these pressing issues firmly on the public and political agenda, ensuring that no one has to suffer in silence due to economic hardship.
