Mental Health Issues
For people suffering mental distress, managing money and debt can often be an added worry.

- Download 'Starting your own business' (259kb PDF) – offers a guide to what you need to think about before and during setting up on your own or in a partnership.
- Download 'Staying in employment' (166kb PDF) – a guide to strategies to stay in work or, if that's not possible, to 'stay in the game' sufficiently to regain paid work when the time is right.
