The pandemic and rising costs of living have devastated many household’s financial and mental wellbeing. The next government’s efforts to protect the country and restore hope for the future must start with those who have been hardest hit.

3. Removing barriers to work for people with mental health problems 
4. Protecting disability benefits for people with mental health problems
