“Being part of the Research Community allows my voice, my ideas and my worries to become part of something bigger. It makes me feel like I’m less likely to be ignored because I have the clout of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute to support me.”

“One of the best things about the Research Community is that our members help us to see the problems that people with mental health problems are facing, so that we can work together to fix them.
Thanks to the help of the Research Community we have been able to:
- Ensure people receiving mental health crisis treatment were included in the Breathing Space debt respite scheme
- Persuade the Government to change the rules on debt letters to make them less threatening
- Secure an end to charges from GPs for the paperwork needed by people with mental health problems to get support from creditors
The more we hear from people like you, the easier it is for us to identify these problems and work to change them!
Do you know someone else with a mental health problem who would like to be involved? Forward this email and invite them to join our Research Community here, and like you, they can make a real difference. It’s easy to take part from a mobile phone, laptop or computer.
All the best,
Chris Lees
