With the financial squeeze replacing COVID-19 as our primary source of stress, it’s one of life’s ironies that money can be a major barrier when seeking therapy.
A staggering 59 per cent of women say their mental health has been affected by the cost of living, according to new research from the Liptember Foundation. Yet a further one in three say that they aren’t seeking help because they can’t afford it.
Mental health expert and Liptember Foundation advisory panel member Madhavi Nawana Parker says there are accessible options available.
“I think we need more information out there, so that people know, OK, I can get this for free or at a reduced fee,” she explains. “A lot of people really don’t know that exists.”
PRIORITISE YOURSELF
Over the last few years, we’ve seen a major push in the national conversation to encourage men to seek therapy. While that’s clearly important, Liptember founder Luke Morris says we’re only starting to recognise that women suffer in silence, too.
