At the event on 8 February, we launched new Money and Mental Health research, exploring experiences of the insurance industry among people with mental health problems.

The research shows that people with mental health problems can often face higher premiums, exclusions or declines for insurance products like travel and life. Experiencing mental health problems can also make it more difficult to navigate the market, understand relevant information and make claims.

Speakers at the event included:

• Julie Higman – Proposition Manager, Aviva
• Mark Jones – Product Director, Legal & General
• Chris Lees – Senior Research Officer, Money and Mental Health Policy Institute
• Jakob Strandgaard – Policy Advisor, Association of British Insurers
• Helen Undy (Chair) – Chief Executive, Money and Mental Health Policy Institute
• Joe Wilson – IFoA mental health working party
